UK Energy Infrastructure
Unlocking the Potential for Tomorrow's Energy Needs
Our Services
UK Energy Infrastructure (UKEI) specialises in bridge the gap between legacy energy assets and the demands of tomorrow’s economy. By analysing how CCGT sites, energy land and high-demand infrastructure could evolve, we support forward-thinking concepts that improve reliability, enable new development and encourage responsible investment across the UK energy landscape.
Strategic Understanding of CCGT & Future Energy Assets
We analyse the evolving role of Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) sites within the UK’s transitioning energy system. This includes assessing lifecycle considerations, modernisation pathways, technology trends and the potential role of CCGTs in delivering flexible, reliable power alongside renewables and future fuels
Transformation of Underutilised Energy Land
UKEI identifies and evaluates opportunities to repurpose brownfield sites, former power stations and underutilised energy locations. Our work supports sustainable redevelopment and helps align land potential with industrial, technology and infrastructure needs.
Sustainable, Long-Term Infrastructure Planning
Our framework emphasises responsible planning that supports decarbonisation goals, makes better use of existing assets and aligns the UK’s energy landscape with long-term environmental and economic priorities. The result is a forward-looking approach designed to strengthen resilience while enabling future opportunity.
Scalable Energy Gateway Hub Concepts
To meet increasing demand from sectors such as data centres and advanced manufacturing, we explore the concept of large-scale energy gateway hubs. These sites consider how substantial on-site or near-site power capacity, resilience and infrastructure integration could support long-term economic growth.
Energy Hubs
UKEI explores how strategically located sites could act as future “energy gateway hubs” places where modern infrastructure, reliable power and high-demand industries can come together in a planned and sustainable way. These concepts focus on resilience, flexibility and long-term value for surrounding regions.
01
Strategic Locations With Energy Heritage
Energy gateway hubs begin with sites that already have strong energy connections such as former power stations, industrial zones or existing grid corridors. By re-using land and infrastructure where possible, development can be smarter, faster and more efficient.
02
On-Site or Near-Site Power Capability
We assess how future hubs could incorporate significant on-demand power capability, including the potential role of CCGT and other flexible technologies. The aim is to support reliability, complement renewables and create secure energy environments for critical users.
03
Designed for High-Demand Users
Energy gateway hubs are envisioned to support sectors such as data centres, advanced manufacturing and large-scale industrial operations. Planning at this scale helps align energy availability, heat management, logistics and land use in a coordinated way.
04
Integrated, Sustainable Infrastructure Planning
Rather than treating energy as an afterthought, hubs consider transport, digital connectivity, sustainability measures and future-fuel readiness from the outset. This integrated view helps reduce environmental impact while encouraging responsible long-term growth.
