The energy sector is undergoing one of the most significant transformations in its history. Across the UK and Ireland, electricity networks are expanding at an unprecedented pace to support decarbonisation, energy security, and economic growth, connecting new offshore wind, interconnectors, storage, and low-carbon technologies to homes, industry, and communities.
