As the UK energy sector races toward Net Zero, it faces many challenges, yet it is encountering a massive acceleration in technology—specifically the convergence of Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Computing. The challenges facing today’s grid are unlike anything seen before. The UK is transitioning from a centralised system to a highly decentralised network integrating intermittent renewables, electric vehicles, storage, and real-time market dynamics. This shift brings extraordinary...

The Government has confirmed a major expansion of the UK's nuclear capacity as the centrepiece of the Autumn Budget's energy package, marking a decisive step towards energy independence and the Net Zero 2050 target. Notably, there was confirmation that the Wylfa site in North Wales has been officially designated as the location for the UK's first fleet of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), a move designed to revitalise the nation's industrial base and provide long-term energy security. Crucially,...

Our most recent Foresight webinar focused on fusion energy, and explored not only the accelerating progress of the UK fusion sector but, more importantly, the breadth of industries that fusion is poised to transform. Fusion energy, long seen as a vital element in the clean energy transition, is certainly central to the UK's Net Zero 2030 targets. However, this session highlighted a more expansive role for fusion. Its impact is already being felt today across multiple sectors, including...
