Three key developments impacting the energy and the net zero transition illustrate how critical it is for businesses, and other organisations, to engage in shaping and preparing for changes to governmental policy and regulation in this arena:
Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent fuel price hike and cost of living impacts dictates a drive to net zero - a reducing dependence on fossil fuels - to ensure energy security and affordability.
The UK public’s increasing concern about climate change drives demand for businesses and other organisations in the public eye, to demonstrate commitment to net zero.
The United Nations Climate Change negotiations (COP28) agreed ‘the beginning of the end’ for fossil fuels meaning delivery of net zero will likely intensify globally in future.
In response, the new Labour Government has put net zero transition and the drive for energy security at the heart of its agenda.
The transformation already achieved in the UK energy market is nothing compared to what is coming – it will therefore be imperative for organisations to understand and plan for that change to avoid significant negative business impacts.
