UK government approves EnergyPathways’ MESH development as nationally significant

LONDON - EnergyPathways plc (AIM:EPP) announced Friday that the UK government has designated its proposed MESH development as a nationally significant project, requiring development consent under the 2008 Planning Act.

The Department for Energy Security, Net Zero and Environment (DEZNZ) confirmed that the Secretary of State has concluded the company’s proposal meets the criteria for national significance, according to a press release from the integrated energy transition company.

The decision follows EnergyPathways’ previous application under section 35(1) of the Planning Act, which allows certain projects to be treated as developments requiring special consent procedures.

EnergyPathways, which focuses on energy transition initiatives, indicated it will provide additional details about the project and next steps "as soon as possible."

The company’s shares trade on London’s AIM market under the ticker EPP. The MESH development represents part of the company’s broader energy transition portfolio, though specific details about the project’s scope, location, and timeline were not disclosed in the announcement.

This development marks a significant regulatory milestone for the project, as nationally significant infrastructure projects follow a specialized planning and approval process in the UK.
