Energy & Utility Infrastructure Planning
Overview
Local plans are under increasing pressure to deliver economic growth, housing and net zero outcomes at the same time, yet these objectives are planned separately. Understanding how growth drives demand for energy, water and nature, and aligning that demand with infrastructure capacity within local geographic boundaries, is essential to delivering plans that are both credible and deliverable. Local policy needs to be holistic and deliverable by each authority, and can return long-term sustainable income.
We support councils to integrate utilities, energy and nature planning into growth strategies, aligning infrastructure capacity, investment and delivery with local economic ambitions and environmental limits.
