Net Zero Investment in Wales

Acre is proud to unveil the Net Zero Investment in Wales report: a comprehensive analysis of the current landscape, opportunities, and challenges associated with achieving net zero in Wales. This report explores the investment required, sector-specific pathways, and the role of policy and stakeholders in delivering a sustainable future.

 

Wales stands at a pivotal moment in the race to reach net zero. As clean energy, carbon removal, and decarbonisation solutions gain momentum, this report highlights both the immense opportunity and the critical challenges ahead; particularly the urgent need to scale investment, infrastructure, and workforce to deliver lasting, economy-wide impact.

 

 

The report aims to answer the following questions:

  • How can Wales attract and scale investment to become a leader in clean energy and decarbonisation?
  • What workforce capabilities and skills are needed to support a successful net zero transition in Wales?
  • Which technologies and collaborative strategies offer the most impactful pathways for reducing emissions across Welsh industries?

 

 

Key findings include:

  • Wales is well-positioned to lead the UK’s net zero transition through innovative clean energy projects.
  • Skills shortages pose a major challenge, especially in early-stage project development.
  • Infrastructure and policy barriers are slowing progress, particularly around grid access and planning.
  • Cross-sector collaboration is essential to scale impact and attract investment.
