Utilities & Infrastructure:
Executive summary.

The utility sector has undergone radical restructuring over the last decade and continues to evolve in response to pressures resulting from regulatory change, water neutrality and the drive to net zero carbon.

The present and foreseeable challenge is the confluence of increased demand and capacity constraint across electricity infrastructure. Rapid decarbonisation of electricity combined with a grid in transition is making access to power critical to viability, especially when it comes to new development and the decarbonisation of existing assets, estates and portfolios.

Concurrently, with demand set to outstrip supply in regions across the UK, the rapidly emerging challenge of access to water needs to be thrown into the mix. The industry must rethink this critical resource, water neutrality is just as essential to viability as power.

We must connect utility infrastructure with real estate & construction industries. Understanding the inter-reliance of each enables strategies, solutions and procurement that underpins viable, resilient and future proofed assets.
