Sustainably financing Britain’s infrastructure needs

Everybody wants their water and energy bills to be lower. However, the regulators’ job is to ensure that lower bills can be sustained. To do this bills must cover investment in infrastructure that our growing population needs and to spread the cost of that infrastructure over many years.
 

Building Climate Resilience Before the Storm

In the next few decades, the global climate could change substantially, and long-term investors must factor that into decisions on how to invest in resilient portfolios today. In the UK, the science predicts that winters are set to become warmer and wetter, summers hotter and drier and this is why climate concerns are at the forefront of our minds. 
 

Unlocking the regulatory challenges to delivering new reservoirs 

‘Water, water everywhere. Nor any drop to drink.’ Coleridge was describing the perils of sailors surrounded by salt water they could not drink, but he could easily have been describing England’s current predicament – increasingly prone to flooding yet failing to provide sufficient water supplies to our growing population.
 

Creating social value that lasts

Britain has a fundamental problem: we don’t build enough. Not enough homes, not enough transport links, not enough energy or digital infrastructure. The result is an economy that consistently underperforms. The national debate tends to focus on the macro‑level reasons, but far less attention is given to how this failure plays out for local communities.
