Nearly 300 jobs axed as Welsh energy retrofit firm Consumer Energy Solutions enters administration

London, Jan 13, 2026, 10:31 GMT Consumer Energy Solutions, an energy-efficiency contractor based in Wales, has gone into administration and stopped trading immediately, according to a company statement.

London, Jan 10, 2026, 07:58 GMT — Market closed Shell (SHEL.L) said its Chemicals and Products segment is expected to be below break-even in the fourth quarter, as its indicative chemicals margin drops to $140 a tonne and trading and optimisation falls from the previous quarter.

GE Vernova stock slips after Baird downgrade flags turbine oversupply risk ahead of Jan. 28 results

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 18:18 EST — After-hours Shares of GE Vernova Inc (GEV) fell about 0.9% in after-hours trading on Friday after Baird downgraded the power and grid equipment maker, warning that fresh competition could cool a market investors have treated as supply-tight.
