UBER on Monday (30) said it will offer 200,000 complimentary trips and 100,000 meals to NHS staff to support them while they work with patients who have been infected by Covid-19.

The free trips are valid to those up to a value of £15 each while Uber Eats will offer a £10 voucher, which NHS staff can use to buy a meal from any of the restaurants and convenience shops that are partnered with the company.

Uber is also offering NHS workers based in London free use of its Jump bikes, which operate in Camden, Islington, Kensington and Chelsea and Hackney.

The company hopes this will make it easier for medical staff to get to work without having to use public transport.

To claim the offer, NHS staff needs to sign up on Uber’s website with their work email address.

Uber chief executive Dara Khosrowshahi said he hopes the freebies will help support NHS staff working “tirelessly” through the day and night

Shell to exit UK and European onshore renewables business through TotalEnergies deal

  • Shell has agreed to sell its onshore renewables portfolio across the UK and Europe to TotalEnergies.
  • The deal includes operating solar and wind assets as well as a pipeline of renewable energy projects.
  • The move continues Shell's shift away from lower-return renewable investments towards its core energy business.

Shell has agreed to sell its European onshore renewables business, including assets in the UK, to TotalEnergies as the FTSE 100 energy giant continues to reshape its portfolio around businesses it believes can deliver stronger long-term returns.

The agreement covers renewable energy assets across the UK, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands. It includes around 500 megawatts of solar and wind capacity already in operation or under construction, alongside a wider pipeline of solar, wind and battery storage projects. The transaction remains subject to regulatory approvals and is expected to complete by the end of 2026.
