Power Pulse
A monthly snapshot of the ever-changing power outlook in the UK
“ It used to be easy for projects to secure power. Now, power has become just as valuable as land. With some sites waiting for a decade or longer to connect to the grid, landowners, developers and occupiers need to think outside the box to meet their energy needs. ”
Leah Holmes

It's hard to imagine, but projects used to be able to connect to the grid in just a few months.
Today, a lack of grid capacity, coupled with the UK's commitment to net zero energy by 2030, means organisations need to think differently about power procurement. How can you manage demand? How are different technologies evolving? How can you innovate around the constraints?
Power Pulse is a monthly snapshot of how the UK power outlook is evolving. Designed to be read in just a few minutes, it brings together news, trends and anecdotes from established and emerging technologies, including grid, geothermal, solar, wind, battery storage, emobility, hydrogen and nuclear.
We hope it's a useful way to keep track of this constantly evolving market.
