Energy Flux is back — and better than ever!

Become a premium member now to get the full experience, and lock in a deep lifetime discount on the full price

After a long, hard British winter of lockdowns and seemingly endless school closures, I am *absolutely ecstatic* to unveil the relaunch of Energy Flux as a paid-for premium newsletter dedicated to chronicling the twists and turns of the energy transition. Become a premium member today to lock in a handsome lifetime saving!

Premium members receive six issues per fortnight:

• Week 1: Newsletter emails Monday, Wednesday and Friday

• Week 2: Newsletter emails Monday and Wednesday, deep-dive feature on Friday

For the first two weeks only, everyone will receive all these emails for free, to give a feel for the premium offering. After that, only paying members will receive them.

Rolling news commentary

The thrice-weekly newsletter will cover a handful of stories with a concise rundown of the salient facts. Energy Flux will tell you why, in the grand scheme of things, these stories matter — events that either move the needle, or speak to underlying trends.

The length and breadth of news emails will depend entirely on the news agenda.

• Energy Flux won’t waste your time with low-level filler, nor will it short change you when big news breaks.

• Expect pithy sentences that succinctly capture the essence of each story.

• Every announcement will get exactly what it deserves.

Friday deep-dives

Then every other Friday, paying members will receive thought-provoking weekend reading that digs deeper into the most prescient, bellwether event of the fortnight. (These will be similar to the fortnightly analytical features that readers have been enjoying for free since Energy Flux began publishing last July.)

After the ‘taster’ fortnight ends, non-paying subscribers will receive only occasional Friday emails, and none of the rolling news commentary. Nor will they have full access to the online archive.

Sounds great. How much?

The standard fee is £30 per month or £300 per year, but a promotional discount is available until the end of April 2021. Lock in a one-third saving on the cost of membership forever by signing up before it’s too late:

The following membership options will apply on an enduring basis:

• One Bitcoin for lifetime membership — get full access to Energy Flux, forever, with one simple transaction:

• Students: 80% discount on the standard annual membership for each year of your studies:

• Pay nothing for up to 6 months if you’ve recently been made redundant. Introduce yourself by email with a link to your LinkedIn bio and I’ll add you to the premium list manually:

Why go premium?

I’m a seasoned energy news editor and analyst who understands how the fossil and renewable energy industries work, and the wider context in which major events are unfolding in the energy transition.

Premium membership will help you to stay ahead of the (often bewildering) energy news agenda by focussing on the stories that matter, chosen by a trusted and independent energy industry observer and critic.

Try before you buy

As mentioned, everyone on the free list will receive the premium newsletters for two weeks, at no charge. Look out for the first ‘taster’ email landing in your inbox next Monday afternoon (29th March), and every weekday thereafter for the rest of the fortnight.

I hope you find Energy Flux engaging and useful in your daily work, and will consider becoming a paid member to support the publication.

Until then, thanks for reading — and don't forget to spread the word!
