ACE Group today welcomed Government’s publication of the new Infrastructure Pipeline, calling for it to be a “catalyst for certainty, investment and growth”.

The National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority (NISTA) has today published its 10-year Infrastructure Pipeline digital portal. The pipeline outlines £530bn of projects and programmes over the next 10 years and importantly will provide real-time updates on 780 planned private and public sector schemes.

Marie-Claude Hemming, ACE Group Policy Director, said: “The Infrastructure Pipeline maps out the next decade of infrastructure delivery.

“EIC has long campaigned on the need for a visible and certain pipeline of work. And the government has delivered in spades, with a long-term infrastructure strategy backed by £725bn of public funding.

“This is precisely the kind of clarity and long-term vision our industry needs. For too long, infrastructure planning in Britain has been plagued by short-termism, with skills and labour recruitment matching the peak and troughs of government commitment to projects.

“A steady and regularly updated pipeline creates stability in the industry. Crucially it gives investors the confidence to invest in infrastructure and ACE Group members the incentivisation to invest in innovation, recruit and retain talent."
