Water companies have set out plans to almost double their spending on the network during asset management period (AMP) 8, 2025 to 2030.

Ofwat has ordered water companies to gear up for better delivery after more than £1.7bn of cash set aside to enhance water infrastructure went unspent over the past three years.

An investigation by the Office for Environmental Protection (OEP) has identified possible failures to comply with environmental law in relation to the regulation of combined sewer overflows (CSOs) by three public authorities.

A reformed water sector would require an overhaul of regulation in order to take a longer term and more holistic view of the connected systems and infrastructure, according to industry experts.

Ofwat has given the green light to 33 infrastructure projects from various water companies following a recent public consultation.

The National Infrastructure Commission (NIC) has called on Ofwat to take a leadership role in developing “consistent forward-looking metrics for defining and measuring asset health” across England.

A carbon neutral wastewater treatment plant, the world’s first ecological digital twin and 3D printed water infrastructure are among 16 winners of Ofwat’s £40M innovation competition.

UK water regulator Ofwat has set out new measures to penalise water companies if they do not fully monitor their storm overflows.

Ofwat has said it is “encouraged” by a number of water companies’ long-term delivery strategies but that “some companies have significantly more to do to meet [its] expectations”.

A report released from the government’s elected offshore wind champion claims the UK will not reach its target of providing 50GW of energy from wind turbines by 2030.
