Electricity Networks Sector Growth Plan Interim Report
10 December 2025
Upgrading the UK’s electricity networks isn’t just an infrastructure challenge, it’s a major economic opportunity. As the country accelerates toward a clean, electrified future, network investment can unlock growth, create jobs, and strengthen UK manufacturing.
For the first time, Energy Networks Association and BEAMA - alongside industry partners - have come together to develop a shared Electricity Networks Sector Growth Plan. This unprecedented collaboration brings networks and their supply chains into one coordinated effort, setting the foundation for long-term success.
A major opportunity for UK industry
The scale of ambition is significant:
- Tens of thousands of jobs created across networks, contractors, and the supply chain.
- Increased demand for critical equipment, from transformers and cables to advanced grid technologies.
- A chance to strengthen UK manufacturing and build resilient domestic supply chains.
Delivering this will require skilled people, sustained investment, and close collaboration across the sector.
What the Interim Report sets out
This interim report is the first step. It outlines how the sector will work together to fully understand and maximise the benefits of network investment.
Over the coming months, the programme will deliver:
- A detailed economic analysis of the growth potential for the UK.
- A clear action plan to scale up supply chains and manufacturing capability.
- A coordinated approach to workforce and skills development across the sector.
