Summary
The UK government is poised to approve the Jackdaw gas field off Aberdeen, reversing a court ruling that voided its permits last year for failing to assess climate impacts. With Energy Secretary Miatta Fahnbulleh expected to recommend approval soon, and final go-ahead likely within a week, the move signals renewed support for North Sea drilling — even as environmental groups warn it won’t meaningfully cut energy bills or boost domestic supply. Meanwhile, the larger Rosebank oil field may follow suit later this year, sparking industry cheers over jobs and revenue — while Prime Minister Andy Burnham calls for pragmatic energy transition policies that balance economic needs with climate goals.
