UK Government not to challenge oil field judicial reviews

It comes as for the first time renewable power from Shetland has been fed into the grid.

It has been hailed as a ‘major milestone’ in the road to a Clean Energy system in the UK.

It comes on the same day that the UK Government announced it will not challenge judicial reviews brought against developments for the Rosebank and Jackdaw offshore oil and gas fields in the North Sea.
