Peter Kyle’s speech at the techUK Conference 2025
The UK government, through Guy’s Hospital and innovative firms Apian and Wing, has initiated a drone delivery service for blood samples. This initiative aims to deliver samples for high-risk patients, reducing delivery time from 30 minutes to just 2 minutes. The project has been enabled by the Civil Aviation Authority’s trial extension, aiming to streamline the delivery system to save lives in the face of regulatory challenges. The government is also investing in related technologies under the ‘Invest 2035’ strategy to enhance the health and tech sectors.

🌎 Gas turbine gridlock #236
Engie recently pulled out of two gas plants in Texas, Perseus and Spenser, due to procurement delays. The White House’s energy abundance agenda and rising electricity demand from data centers highlight the role of natural gas. However, gas turbine manufacturers are facing severe delays, with delivery backlogs extending to 2029. As a result, the gas plant projects are threatened, prompting developers to plan equipment acquisition well into the future.

It's time to GETs going... on transmission!
Oregon has enacted legislation mandating a transition to 80% clean electricity by 2030 and 100% by 2040. This shift is predominantly facilitated by Portland General Electric and Pacific Power, which delivered over half of their electricity from fossil fuels in 2021. As demand surges, driven by AI and electrification, upgrading transmission capacity through Grid Enhancing Technologies (GETs) becomes pivotal. The Oregon Legislature has an opportunity to advance this transition with proposed legislation, HB 3336.

🌎 DeepSeek hype vs. the hyperscalers #232
Chinese AI startup DeepSeek launched its R1 model, claiming it was far cheaper and more energy-efficient to train than US competitors. Costing just $6m to develop — compared to OpenAI’s reported $100m+, DeepSeek performed similarly to leading competitors while using only ~2,000 Nvidia H800 GPUs. This breakthrough raises more questions about future power demand from AI workloads, especially as data centers were projected to consume 650-1,050 TWh by 2026. The energy efficiency claims are being closely scrutinized as inference loads may offset training savings.
