Emily Gosden

Emily Gosden is the Energy Editor at The Times, where she has established herself as a leading journalist in the energy sector through agenda-setting reporting. Her career trajectory includes breaking major stories that shaped national policy, most notably her May 2022 interview with BP CEO Bernard Looney. During this exchange, she secured his admission that BP's investment plans would remain unaffected by a potential windfall tax – a revelation that directly influenced the UK government's subsequent U-turn to implement the 'Looney Levy' on North Sea oil and gas producers. Gosden consistently leverages deep industry contacts to reveal critical developments, such as being first to report on government negotiations with coal-fired power plants during the 2022 winter crisis and exposing National Grid's scheme to pay households for reducing peak-time electricity usage. Her work combines technical expertise in power markets with sharp political analysis, regularly driving national discourse on energy policy.
