About Us
First off, thanks for landing on our Substack.
Energy News Beat lives at the intersection of energy and finance, digesting daily news into actionable insights that are read by leading portfolio managers, capital allocators, oil & gas operators, investment banks, and family offices.
Our goal is simple: tell you the WHY behind the headline. It is not enough to just read the news; you must understand what it means within both the broader landscape and how to take actionable steps.
We drop new content several times a week via our Daily Stand Up - 20 minutes of analyzing the top energy news of the day and why you should care about it - along with bespoke research from Stuart and Michael.
We cover stories from around the world on wind, solar, storage, oil, and gas, available at energynewsbeat.co, YouTube, and our Substack. Look at the Energy News Beat as our show notes, and the podcast as interviews with experts across all forms of media, for your convenience in the format you prefer.
The Energy News Beat Podcast is currently ranked #1 in the United States by Millionpodcasts.com, and #4 globally by FeedSpot. With an estimated 2 million visitors to the Energy News Beat website each month, we finished 2025 with 2.5 million listens on Apple and Spotify, over 1 million downloads, and over 19 million reads of the transcripts via RSS feeds.
We also have key Executives, CEOs, and industry leaders stop by the Energy News Beat podcast to discuss major topics in finance, earnings, technology, and geopolitical issues impacting investors and consumers. We drop those every week and are averaging 5 to 6 podcasts weekly between the ENB Stand Ups and the Conversations in Energy with Stu Turley series.
Our support is funded by you, the reader, and we would like to ask you to consider becoming a paid subscriber to this newsletter. Being a paid subscriber, you have access to our entire archive, paid only research content, monthly “State of The Energy Union” podcasts and direct access to Stuart and Michael for questions. We are currently working to expand this section.
Energy News Beat is owned and managed by Sandstone Asset Management - an alternative investment firm focused on the oil & gas space.
Thank you to all our current subscribers - we hope you choose to join us in this journey. For questions, email Michael at mtanner@sandstone-group.com
