The UK's utility and infrastructure sector is a major contributor to the economy, providing essential services such as energy, water, communications, transportation and telecommunications. It is responsible for creating jobs and delivering safe, reliable public services while also promoting economic growth. Investment in this sector has increased significantly over the past few years, despite the challenges of the pandemic, with an expectation of even higher levels of investment in the future. This is being driven by a number of factors, including new technologies such as smart grids and renewable energy sources; population growth; climate change; and the need to upgrade ageing infrastructure.
