Xlinks sacrificed at Sizewell C alter, Trump's ren attack + French and Dutch energy policy update

In this week's episode of Energy Transition Today, we begin with the latest update on the French energy infra bill and the likely outcomes for the proposal.

Then on to the seemingly shocking downfall of the Xlinks project and how the outcome could have been linked to the UK government's Sizewell C pledge. In addition, the spate of announcements ahead of the UK – France Summit today [10 July 2025].

Across the pond, we go over the implications of Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act being passed into law and the successive executive order that further tightens the noose for renewables.

We end on the Dutch government's political woes and how that could prove to be disastrous for the country's near-term energy generation targets.
