As lockdown measures begin to lift across the UK and the economy gears back into action, there has been much talk of the role the green recovery will play in the fightback.
Senior figures across the utilities sector have already highlighted the role the industry can play in providing employment opportunities and stimulating economic growth throughout the 2020s.

Our expert panel discussed this topic and questions from Utility Week readers on how we can Build Back Better, in our latest #AskUsAnything online show, in association with Talend.
The panel consisted of: Tony Cocker, chair of Affinity Water and a director at SSE; Nick Ellins, chief executive of the Energy and Utilities Skills group, and Clementine Cowton, director of external affairs at Octopus Energy.
