What does your partnership with Centrica Business Solutions add?We’ve enjoyed the opportunity to work closely with Centrica Business Solutions, sharing our perspectives on current and future trends. We are both involved in the Modern Energy Partners project – piloting opportunities to cut energy costs and carbon emissions at the Royal Navy’s largest training base. We are collaborating to offer services to organisations participating in phase two of the UK’s Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS). We will also be working together on a new industry project.Both organisations are closely aligned in our vision for the future. It’s been exciting to share our perspectives on the fast-changing energy market.

What does the future hold?We’ll see continued transformation of the energy sector. Decarbonisation, decentralisation and digitisation will, of course, play a significant part. This will include the widespread adoption of innovations and technologies currently being used at relatively small scale. We also expect that the energy market will become increasingly customer-centric, with start-ups and SMEs driving disruption. With world-class consultancy from WSP and innovative technology and future-proof solutions from Centrica Business Solutions, we can create exceptional, enduring value for customers. We look forward to continuing to work closely together.

As a result, we design not just for today but for the future. We see the decarbonisation of all sectors, including energy, as a key opportunity and potential differentiator for our clients.

What challenges does the market face?The energy market is in transition. Decarbonisation, the widespread adoption of renewables and the anticipated mass adoption of EVs are driving a significant shift in market dynamics, creating associated uncertainty. Businesses need to consider how they need to adapt to become ready for the future.

Which sectors do you operate in?We are one of the world’s leading engineering professional services consultancies.
