Financing the UK Industrial Transition

The UK Industrial Strategy and National Infrastructure Pipeline have set out the UK government’s roadmap for growing a modern economy that has seen decades of underinvestment. It is a welcome change in approach and demonstrates tremendous ambition.

However, the challenge is equally large. From early-stage scale-up finance to the long-term funding needs of critical infrastructure, an estimated £345 billion of private finance is required to deliver the programme over the next decade. This report investigates the role of private finance in transforming the UK’s energy sector. It goes on to analyse the contribution private finance will need to make to help the eight priority sectors (the IS-8) the government identified in its Industrial Strategy to reach their targets over the next decade.
