ARO has published a detailed analysis of the UK’s Modern Industrial Strategy, highlighting how the government’s long-term vision is set to reshape the country’s energy landscape, infrastructure, and industrial competitiveness.
Unveiled by the Labour government, the strategy lays out a ten-year framework focused on advanced manufacturing, clean energy, and the creative industries, with a strong emphasis on achieving net zero and building a resilient, decarbonised power system by 2030.
At the heart of the strategy is a shift toward coordinated, interventionist policy, designed to unlock innovation and anchor economic opportunity across the UK. ARO’s breakdown identifies several key policy levers and regulatory reforms that will impact stakeholders in energy and industry, for example:
- Network Charging Compensation Scheme (NCC) – addressing locational grid cost imbalances
- British Industrial Competitiveness Scheme (BICS) – incentivising low-carbon industrial investment
- Corporate Power Purchase Agreements (CPPAs) – enabling direct access to green energy
“This strategy marks a turning point for UK industry,” said Joseph Letras, sustainability director at ARO.
“It’s a bold, coordinated approach that aligns economic growth with climate responsibility. At ARO, we’re helping organisations navigate these reforms and seize the opportunity to lead in a low-carbon future, through smarter energy procurement, digital innovation, and sustainable infrastructure planning.”
With energy security and industrial resilience now central to national policy, ARO encourages organisations to engage with these reforms proactively. The strategy not only supports decarbonisation but also positions the UK as a competitive force in the global clean energy market.
