Editorial standards

Headwaters Wire reports energy and environment news: power and fuels, climate and air, water, and land and wildlife. We analyse and publish from primary documents in rapid time.

From the source

Our stories are built on primary material: rules, orders, filings, notices, court documents and official statements. Every story links the documents it is based on, so a reader can go straight to the original.

Outside comment

Some stories include comment from people outside the documents. We name each contributor and link to the website they gave us. Their views are their own.

Op-eds

We welcome op-ed pitches from subject experts in energy and the environment. Write to desk@headwaterswire.com with your idea and we will be in touch.

Independence

We do not run display advertising, and no one pays to be covered. Any sponsorship is labelled as such and has no say over what we report.

Updates

When a story develops or needs fixing, we update the same page and note the change at the top, with the time it was updated.
