“It’s an incredibly exciting time, but in the face of global competition, our sector can never afford to stand still. UKMPG members are investing, across this country, in new, clean technologies and infrastructure. Putting in place the right enabling policies and regulation to keep globally mobile infrastructure capital flowing into the UK is vital to continue this proud record. And making sure the UK maximises the value, from being a proud trading nation, to taking advantage of the green energy transition.”
