Why is there so much development happening at the moment?

From a utilities point of view, uh, there's a huge amount of development going on.

I think we should, first of all, say that the, uh, infrastructure we see, so the grid infrastructure we see across Brit- Britain was mostly built in the 1960s and was there to carry electricity, uh, produced by coal.

And since then, we haven't had a huge amount of investment in our, uh, grid infrastructure.

And the government have a, uh, action plan, which is titled The Clean Power by 2030, or sorry, the Clean Power 2030 Action Plan, uh, where they would like to see a new inf- a new grid infrastructure in place transmitting all clean energy.

Um, and to be able to achieve that, we, first of all, need to produce green energy.

And around the coast of, uh, Scotland mostly, but, uh, some in northern England, we're seeing a huge amount of wind farms in planning, uh, which will produce, uh, in the region of 40 gigawatts of clean power.

And that's essentially a, a lease that people are paid on an annual basis for having existing infrastructure like a water pipe or a, a hydroelectric infrastructure crossing their land.
