Ofgem cuts UK energy price cap for April — here’s how much bills will fall
Britain’s energy regulator Ofgem plans to trim its household energy price cap by 7% starting April 1, pulling the typical annual dual-fuel bill down to £1,641. That’s a yearly drop of £117—roughly £10 a month. Tim Jarvis at Ofgem called a budget tweak to policy costs “the main driver.” The regulator also flagged a jump in switching activity, up nearly 20% year-on-year, and noted last year’s fixed deals came in about £115 beneath the cap. The reduction comes just as new government rules around environmental and social charges kick in from April, with Ofgem putting the average customer saving at £150. According to Ofgem, global wholesale prices dropped, shaving off £38 a year in the last quarter; but network charges climbed by £66 annually, thanks to the RIIO-3 price-control regime that covers upgrades to electricity and gas networks.

BP Q4 2025 results: BP halts buybacks after $4bn write-downs and a $1.5bn U.S. asset deal
BP hit the brakes on its share buyback program Tuesday, opting instead to channel extra cash toward trimming debt and boosting oil-and-gas spending, after quarterly underlying profit numbers landed largely in line with forecasts. The company also flagged roughly $4.2 billion in impairments and disclosed it had unloaded a minority stake in its U.S. onshore oil assets for $1.5 billion. The suspension of buybacks is a big deal—investors have counted on those returns as a cushion when prices weaken, and BP has turned to share repurchases to help calm nerves after years spent changing direction. BP stock is up around 9% year-to-date, ahead of European competitors Shell and TotalEnergies, but it’s still trailing ExxonMobil in the U.S., according to the Financial Times.

BP hunts for a partner at Iraq’s Kirkuk oil field as $25 billion redevelopment looms
BP is hunting for a partner to boost output and split development costs at Iraq’s Kirkuk oil field, one of the region’s oldest, Bloomberg News reported Feb. 5, citing insiders. The search for investors is ongoing, with any deal potentially pushing into next year, the report added. BP declined to comment. The Kirkuk redevelopment deal is far from minor. Last year, a senior Iraqi oil official told Reuters that BP might pour in $20 billion to $25 billion over more than 25 years under a profit-sharing arrangement. This setup would allow BP to recoup costs before splitting profits from increased output, targeting a boost to at least 450,000 barrels per day within two to three years, up from roughly 300,000 bpd. The official also highlighted this as Iraq’s second big pact with a foreign oil giant in as many years, following a $27 billion TotalEnergies project in Basra.

Shell keeps $3.5bn buyback despite Q4 profit slide — and debt jumps to $45.7bn
Shell announced on Thursday a new $3.5 billion share buyback and raised its dividend, despite a drop in profit that missed expectations in the final quarter of 2025. This shift is significant since investors long viewed buybacks as the oil sector’s go-to way to deploy cash, despite sliding crude prices and shrinking earnings. Now, the key issue is how long Shell can maintain steady returns without its leverage inching higher.
