EnergyPathways CEO Ben Clube says the company has secured two major milestones for its MESH project: an Associated British Ports deal for onshore facilities in Barrow-in-Furness and a North Sea Transition Authority gas storage licence. He frames MESH as a large integrated energy storage platform combining compressed air, gas storage, and hydrogen, and says the project is backed by local, regional, and UK government support.

Ben Clube, CEO of EnergyPathways, uses this interview to update investors on progress in the company’s MESH project, which he describes as a very large-scale integrated energy storage system intended to support UK energy security and lower household bills. The core thesis is straightforward: EnergyPathways is building what he says will be the UK’s largest long-duration energy storage platform, combining compressed air storage, gas storage, and hydrogen storage, with the near-term emphasis on securing the physical and regulatory foundations needed to move toward final investment decision. A key milestone is the Associated British Ports deal, which gives EnergyPathways access to land for onshore facilities at Barrow-in-Furness. Clube says this location will house operational support activities and a hydrogen production plant that will be interconnected with offshore storage operations. …
Tactically, the stock is likely driven by milestone headlines, but the setup remains speculative because the project is still pre-FID. The near-term risk is that the market prices the news as progress without a fresh catalyst unless more de-risking steps follow quickly.
Over the next few months, the bull case depends on EnergyPathways continuing to convert permits, site access, and engineering progress into a credible financing path. If FEED and other work stay on track, the market may start treating MESH as a genuine development asset rather than just a concept story.
Structurally, the company is trying to own a piece of the UK’s long-duration energy storage and hydrogen infrastructure buildout. If executed, that would place it in a durable energy-security regime, but the long-run thesis only matters if the project becomes financeable and buildable at scale.
EnergyPathways has secured an ABP deal that provides land for onshore facilities supporting its MESH project.
The CEO says the deal gives access to land for the project's onshore base.
The MESH project is intended to be a very large integrated energy storage system combining compressed air, gas storage, and hydrogen storage.
The speaker defines the project's scope and technology stack explicitly.
The North Sea Transition Authority granted a gas storage licence covering the salt sequence intended for caverns.
The speaker says the regulator awarded a licence over the relevant area.
Tell me about the significance of the North Sea Transition Authority gas storage license.
The speaker explains that the North Sea Transition Authority awarded a license covering an area with significant salt sequences ideal for creating large caverns for energy storage. Each cavern will be about the size of four St. Paul's Cathedrals, and the license area has potential for over 60 salt caverns, with just four caverns making the UK's largest LDES project.
