The UK faces a monumental transformation to modernise and expand its energy system to supply affordable, secure and sustainable energy. With estimations that £1.4 trillion will be invested into the UK energy transition, this scale of capital deployment, across a diverse and rapidly evolving technology landscape, creates a significant challenge for investors.
David Hirst, Deloitte Infrastructure M&A Partner, will be joined by Joel Kenrick, Deputy Director, Head of Policy (Climate Change) at the National Wealth Fund, Julia Pyke, Clean Power Commissioner at the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and former Managing Director at Sizewell C, Gareth Thomas, Director at Holtec Britain, and Henry Charles, Investment Manager for Energy & Infrastructure at Equitix, to discuss this transition and explore a variety of key issues, including:
- The confidence to invest in the UK energy transition
- How to attract financing and funding for energy transition projects
- The various challenges and barriers and how to overcome them
