Delivering The UK’s Green Transition
The challenge
The green transition will provide opportunities across the country; creating jobs, driving economic growth, and helping us to become a world leader in sustainable infrastructure.
But funding this transition will not be easy – with the nation’s net zero ambitions estimated to require an additional £50-60 billion in capital investment each year.
Without significant investment at scale, progress will stall, and the opportunity will be lost.
That’s why private investment will play a crucial role in delivering the green transition, helping to drive forward positive change without putting pressure on public finances.
Let’s build a greener future for the United Kingdom
Over the last 16 years we’ve been consistently investing in the UK’s infrastructure. We’ve helped the Government to deliver on key priorities while supporting the nation’s journey to net zero, across all stages of the energy value chain, including transportation and social infrastructure.
Climate considerations are an integral part of our approach to investment, as we pursue opportunities that will help the nation reach net zero and ensure we’re building resilient infrastructure in an ever-changing landscape.
From investing in one of the world’s second largest offshore wind farms to building 250km of green rail infrastructure, our projects bring value to every corner of the country and continue to play a key role in driving the energy transition forward.
Leading long-term investors
At Equitix, we’re actively helping to deliver the UK’s green transition with a proven track record of managing some of the country’s largest infrastructure projects.
From managing 39% of the UK’s offshore wind generation capacity to being the nation’s biggest provider of social and transport infrastructure we have the experience and expertise to help deliver the UK’s green transition.
