Clean Energy: Investment

Answered by Michael Shanks
The Government and DESNZ publishes information on clean energy private investment flows, most recently announcing around the International Investment Summit in October that £34.8bn of clean energy investment has been committed to the UK [1]. DESNZ utilises Bloomberg New Energy Finance data to understand total (public plus private) investment flows, in particular capital expenditure deployed across low carbon sectors. According to our analysis of the BNEF energy transition investment 2023 dataset, between 2010 and 2023, the UK has seen £300 billion of public and private investment across low carbon sectors. We are considering what further information could be published.
