What is New Power?

New Power is a specialist report for anyone with an interest in the UK energy industry. We look in-depth at all the issues that have to be addressed to rebuild our industry – moving from a our centralised high-carbon power system to one that will provide heat and power securely, affordably and with minimal carbon dioxide emissions.

Why do you need New Power?

The UK energy sector is beginning unprecedented change. Over the next 20 years, more than 40GW of power generation capacity must be built to replace our ageing fossil fuelled and nuclear power stations. It is estimated that more than £100 billion will be spent on plant and related infrastructure – faster build-out than ever before. Our in-depth analysis, news and industry tracking data is your key to unlock this complex and fast-changing industry.
