Reflections on 2025

Now that we’ve had a much-needed break over the festive period, there’s been time to properly pause and reflect on what 2025 meant for C3 Communications.

Redefining Engagement: The Path to Successful Development in Fusion

Fusion is an exciting technology with major potential to be a game-changing energy source – it really is science fiction made real! And this provides a unique opportunity, with conversations often starting from a place of interest, intrigue, or excitement. But, while this is exciting, it is also unknown. People may be curious and concerned about fusion at the same time, however these early days are the perfect time to address people’s concerns and secure buy-in.

Case Study: Mona Offshore Wind Project

Our first big project as C3 Communications, Pippa's role was central through the examination, working closely with multi-disciplinary colleagues across bpEnBW.

Rules of Engagement: doing what's required vs doing what's right

Integrity is doing the right thing even when no one is watching, so the saying goes. With changes expected to The Planning Act 2008 around the requirements for engagement, this will be a useful mantra for energy and infrastructure leaders to keep in mind.

Who we are: introducing Saranne

I've worked in energy, mostly the nuclear industry, for nearly 20 years. During that time, I've been fortunate enough to have worked in lots of different organisations, from decommissioning old nuclear power stations, to supporting the construction of new ones and working in fusion too!

Redefining Engagement: the C3 Communications mission

“Communities are at the heart of the government’s mission to make Britain a clean energy superpower." Secretary of State for Energy Security & Net Zero, Ed Miliband, highlighted the importance of community engagement in his Statement of Strategic Priorities to Great British Energy. At C3 Communications, this is a subject very close to our hearts. So, we thought we’d take the opportunity to introduce ourselves and, more importantly, the mission driving our work.
