UK government approves Jackdaw gas field in the North Sea; decision on Rosebank postponed

The UK government announced approval of the Jackdaw gas field in the North Sea, roughly 150 miles east of Aberdeen, while a decision on the Rosebank oil field near the Shetland Islands has been postponed. According to the BBC, energy secretary Miatta Fahnbulle said gas production would begin this month, but energy bills will not fall this winter. The licences were issued by the Conservative government in 2022–2023, however the Court of Session in Edinburgh previously ruled their approval unlawful due to failure to account for climate impacts.
