Energy and Power

Powerheader

As an energy provider, your goal is to reliably and cost effectively produce electricity. You need to improve operational efficiencies despite ageing assets. You have to address increasing environmental regulations. Yet you have to meet these demands with a shrinking pool of resources and experienced workers.

Engenda Group have the experience of project delivery that are associated with these challenges, helping you adapt to the changing landscape of electricity generation through a broad portfolio of services.

Core Markets:

  • Energy from Waste
  • Electrical Infrastructure
  • HVDC Converters
  • Combined Cycle (CCGT)
  • Combined Heat and Power (CHP)
  • Conventional

Energy use in the United Kingdom has declined from pre‑pandemic levels, reflecting improved efficiency and structural economic changes, but demand is now beginning to rise again as electrification accelerates. Electricity demand reached around 322 TWh in 2025, marking a second consecutive year of growth after a prolonged period of decline. [carbonbrief.org]

The generation mix has shifted significantly since 2019. By 2024–2025, the UK power system is now firmly dominated by low‑carbon sources:

  • Renewables supplied ~47–50% of electricity, a record high [carbonbrief.org]
  • Gas accounted for roughly 26–30%, remaining the single largest dispatchable source [neso.energy]
  • Nuclear contributed around 10–13%, though output has declined due to plant ageing [carbonbrief.org]
  • Imports provided ~10% of supply [carbonbrief.org]
  • Coal has now been fully phased out, with 2025 the first full year of zero coal generation [carbonbrief.org]

This represents a profound transition from the 2019 system, with renewables overtaking fossil fuels as the largest source of electricity and the UK electricity grid operating with record levels of low‑carbon power.

Rapid cost reductions in wind, solar and battery storage—combined with policy commitments to net zero—are continuing to place electricity at the centre of the energy transition. Electrification of transport, heating and parts of industry is now beginning to drive sustained increases in electricity demand.

As a result, power generation is more critical than ever. While this creates significant opportunities for utilities, developers and investors—particularly in renewable generation, storage and flexibility services—it also introduces a complex set of challenges. These include managing intermittency, upgrading grid infrastructure, ensuring system resilience, integrating new technologies, and maintaining affordability while meeting decarbonisation targets.
