The power sector is in a better position than most. Infrastructure has been recognised by government not just as an option, but as fundamental to the economic success of the UK. It showed its commitment to the sector through the recently published National Infrastructure Plan, which identified five infrastructure sectors to focus on, including power and energy. The plan went on to state that ￡200bn of infrastructure investment will be needed over the next five years to deliver on key projects. But while political commitments to "decarbonisation" will help to drive certain UK energy and renewables projects, questions remain about the sources and supply of funding.
