With the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) revealing that the UK has a competitive advantage globally in a third of green products and services, Kelly Becker, President, Schneider Electric UK&I, considers the UK’s strong manufacturing heritage and the potential for the sector to spearhead the journey to net zero.
"With its strong manufacturing heritage, the UK is poised to harness the transformative power of the green economy. This also has the potential to supercharge local economies across the UK, recognising local expertise, competencies and opportunities," comments Becker.
"The future of energy is predicated on decarbonisation. Digitalisation is key to this, and at the heart of this transition lies manufacturing that can spearhead the replacement of technologies that use fossil fuels with those that run on green electricity.
"Long term investment in the manufacturing industry will be critical to driving continued growth and prosperity, to help us reach our net zero goals."
