California Regulator Wants to Pause Newsom Refinery Profit Cap

California's energy market regulator is backing off a plan to place a profit cap on oil refiners in the state. Siva Gunda, vice chair of the California Energy Commission, said during a Friday briefing that the cap would 'serve as a deterrent' to refiners boosting investments in the state. Gunda said the commission wants to increase gasoline supply in California after two refineries announced plans to close in the next year, accounting for about one-fifth of the state's crude-processing capacity.

La Madeleine signs franchise agreement for three locations in Texas

La Madeleine, a French-inspired bakery and café, has signed an agreement with SM Franchise to develop three new locations in Houston and College Station in the US state of Texas up to 2027. This expansion highlights the growing appeal of the brand, which blends French tradition with American tastes, according to a statement from La Madeleine. SM Franchise, owned by Sultan Mahmood, a multi-unit operator with 25 years of experience in restaurant franchising, will lead this expansion. Mahmood began his career with Denny's in 2003, building a portfolio of six Texas locations and a team of more than 200 employees. "I wanted to expand my portfolio with La Madeleine because I'm inspired by how the brand blends French tradition with American tastes in such a creative and inviting way," Mahmood stated. He plans to open the first La Madeleine location by the end of 2025 in College Station, followed by a café in College Station and one in the Houston Designated Market Area in 2026. La Madeleine CEO John Dillon expressed confidence in the brand's growth potential, stating: "Our unit economics, unique positioning and proven systems have been successful in attracting restaurateurs who bring significant experience to the La Madeleine brand." La Madeleine, a brand of Groupe Le Duff, operates almost 100 corporate and franchise locations in multiple US states and one international café. The menu includes all-day breakfast, brunch, soups, salads, sandwiches, pastas, coffees and entrées, along with a traditional French bakery display featuring fresh bread and pastries. Groupe Le Duff, established in 1976, operates in more than 100 countries and on five continents. Its portfolio of restaurant chains includes Brioche Dorée, Del Arte, Le Fournil de Pierre, La Madeleine (US) and Kamps (Germany), as well as its brands Bridor and Cité Gourmande, which manufacture products for 45,000 four and five-star hotel restaurants.

Network Rail and partners to tackle Britain's rail signal blackspots

Network Rail, Neos Networks, and Freshwave have announced a partnership called Project Reach, aimed at eliminating mobile signal blackspots across Britain's major rail routes. The commercial model of Project Reach combines public and private sector investment, with anticipated savings for taxpayers of around £300m ($411.7m). The project will initially involve Neos Networks laying 1,000km of ultrafast fibre optic cable along key rail lines, with plans to expand to more than 5,000km. The rail lines will include the East Coast, Chiltern, West Coast, and Great Western Main Lines. Freshwave will work with mobile network operators to improve mobile coverage in 57 tunnels and their adjacent cuttings. This includes tunnels such as Chipping Sodbury near Bristol and those surrounding King's Cross station. The company will target investment to address coverage gaps in rail tunnels and upgrade wireless infrastructure at major railway stations. The deal includes a commitment from mobile network operators to invest in new 4G/5G infrastructure at 12 of Network Rail's largest stations, including Birmingham New St and Manchester Piccadilly. The upgraded infrastructure will enable Network Rail to better monitor railway assets and support the adoption of new technologies. Secretary of State for Transport Heidi Alexander said: 'This is a game changer for passengers up and down the country and will revolutionise journeys from Paddington to Penzance and Edinburgh to Euston. 'By boosting connectivity and tackling signal blackspots, we are also ensuring a more reliable and efficient service.' Neos Networks will commercialise spare fibre capacity as part of the project, enhancing Network Rail's critical telecoms infrastructure. This will not only provide the necessary future capacity for digitally driven railway benefits but also create a digital connectivity backbone for businesses, connecting data centres and high-performance edge facilities. Network Rail chief financial officer Jeremy Westlake said: 'I'm delighted that we have now signed this innovative deal with our partners Neos Networks and Freshwave. This investment model will deliver the necessary upgrades to our telecoms infrastructure faster whilst offering significant value-for-money for the taxpayer and stimulating wider economic benefits across the country.' The multi-year Project Reach is set to commence mobile infrastructure installations in 2026, with full rollout expected by 2028. Recently, Network Rail entered a contract worth £500m with British Steel for the provision of over 337,000 tonnes of railway track for the coming five years, starting from July 1st.
