The UK's net zero ambitions are clear. The question is no longer what needs to be done but how we deliver the infrastructure required at the pace and scale needed.
Net zero will be won or lost on infrastructure delivery, making this one of the defining challenges facing the UK today.
As Principal Sponsor of Net Zero Week 2026 (4–10 July), we'll be bringing together industry leaders to explore some of the most pressing questions facing the sector:
- How do we move from ambition to execution?
- What is needed to accelerate delivery while maintaining affordability, resilience and energy security?
- How can industry and government create the certainty needed to unlock long-term investment?
- What does credible, responsible net zero delivery look like in practice?
Drawing on our experience delivering critical infrastructure across the UK, we'll be leading discussions throughout the week on the opportunities, challenges and trade-offs involved in delivering the next generation of energy infrastructure at pace, at scale and with greater certainty.
