Summing up
Whilst there is a challenging backdrop, it's clear that energy and infrastructure underpin our society and are at the heart of the government’s levelling up agenda and net zero carbon targets. Projects will support social and economic recovery, build sustainable communities and respond to the climate crisis.
We need new approaches to deliver the necessary outcomes. The COVID-19 pandemic sped up the adoption of new ways of working and delivering projects. The increased endorsement of flexible working will help attract and retain talent to the industry. The use of technology, digital tools and data and modern construction methods will help deliver energy and infrastructure projects more efficiently.
To deliver better value, we need to collaborate more to overcome challenges born from the response to the pandemic. We also need to recognise the benefits of longer-term partnerships in fostering innovation.
It is an exciting time for the energy and infrastructure sectors as new ways are found to deliver strategies.
