A succession of shocks, from geopolitical instability to the breakdown of global supply chains, highlight the fragility of economic security and growth for countries heavily dependent on energy imports.

It shows how essential energy security is for resilience in our critical infrastructure and services. And to provide the foundation for growth in industries such as AI, advanced manufacturing and clean energies.

Yet since 2020 UK industrial electricity prices have been the most expensive in the G7. Our report shows how closing that price gap could unlock up to £250bn of additional economic output over the next decade.
