Grid growth plan promises £58bn boost and 48,000 jobs

By Anthony at GridteamAI

The Energy Networks Association and BEAMA have published a growth plan arguing that grid investment could add £58 billion in gross value added to the economy and create 48,000 jobs, including apprenticeships. Ofgem's infrastructure director welcomed the plan, which also proposes that 72p in every £1 invested would reach local communities. A new growth partnership, chaired independently, will oversee supply chain and skills work.
