Our latest #AskUsAnything show – sponsored by Dalcour Maclaren – will discuss the attractiveness of the UK utilities sector to investors, and ask how the pandemic has affected this.

Our Build Back Better series has already highlighted the ambitions of utilities in driving forward the net-zero agenda. However, companies have been adamant that the right framework needs to be in place to incentivise investors. The RIIO2 draft determinations, due next week, have already been described as a signal of the UK’s ambition for a green recovery.

We will discuss the kind of policies and regulatory approach needed to encourage investors and examine other areas in which investor mindsets are shifting.

The panel will include:

Peter Antolik, partner, Arjun Infrastructure Partners

Dominic Nash, head of European utilities research, Barclays

Lawrence Slade, CEO, Global Infrastructure Investor Association
