Executive Summary
The UK sits at the frontline of the global energy transition: the country has phased out coal, built the world’s second-largest offshore wind fleet and committed billions in public and private capital to clean power. Yet aging grid infrastructure, planning delays and political uncertainty mean that delivering on ambitious net zero targets is far from straightforward. For investors, this evolving energy landscape offers both opportunities and risks: a strong policy framework and clear decarbonization trajectory create momentum for clean energy growth, but the scale of infrastructure requires opens investment pathways across generation, storage and grid technologies.About the Authors
