Germany halts offshore wind tenders, Ørsted’s €1.44bn divestment, UK SMR ownership framework
Thursday, 5 February, 2026

This week on Energy Transition Today, we examine Germany’s decision to pause its offshore wind tenders following the country’s first failed auction, and what the move signals for developer appetite across Europe’s offshore sector.We also cover Ørsted’s long-awaited divestment of its European onshore portfolio, TenneT Germany’s partial sale to KfW to unlock critical grid investment, and fresh hydrogen offtake developments linking Germany to Saudi Arabia’s green ammonia projects. Elsewhere, we unpack Poland’s latest gas and solar financing activity and Denmark’s faltering CCUS tender. We close the episode with the UK’s evolving approach to small modular reactors, as the government sets out a formal pipeline intended to support privately funded SMR deployment while raising big questions around risk and regulation.Hosts: Maya Chavvakula, Dan Burge, Mathilde DorbessanEdit: Mathilde DorbessanReach out to us at: podcasts@inspiratia.comFind all of our latest news and analysis by subscribing to inspiratia For tickets to our events email conferences@inspiratia.com or buy them directly on our website.
