Powering progress: What the UK’s industrial and ten-year infrastructure strategies mean for the construction of energy projects
Posted on 16 October 2025
The UK Government is fast-tracking the construction of clean energy infrastructure through sweeping reforms and investment and to achieve huge gains in a secure, affordable, and low-carbon power.
This is supported by the UK’s Industrial Strategy (IS) and Ten-Year Infrastructure Strategy (TYIS), published alongside the 2025 Spending Review, which set out a bold vision for economic growth, net zero, and regional development from now through to 2035.
For those involved in the construction of energy projects, these strategies signal a new era of opportunity and challenge. With over £725 billion in public funding in the TYIS, streamlined planning, and a focus on clean energy, the construction sector is at the heart of delivering the UK’s ambitions as set out in the two strategies.
Here, we explore the key changes, what they mean for construction professionals, and how to prepare for the decade ahead.
