The UK must supercharge investment in infrastructure and overhaul the energy sector. That’s the verdict from UK review body – the National Infrastructure Commission.
The five-yearly report which sets the agenda for critical national infrastructure over the next 30 years is urging government to back a plan for public and private investment that will deliver sustainable economic growth across the UK. It aims to boost overall economic productivity, deliver regional growth and meet the UK’s legally binding commitments to being a net-zero economy by 2050.
But a ‘start from scratch’ approach risks leaving those businesses in a holding pattern of poor connectivity and low productivity whilst those projects are scoped, prepped and finally delivered and we are really keen to see these projects get started not just talked about. Upgrading the UK’s energy infrastructure is central to the Commission’s report. This is essential if we are to achieve a net-zero economy by 2050.
