The utilities sector comprises the water, energy and telecoms markets, which were previously operated as state run monopolies but have been opened to private competition for more than 25 years. Construction output for the utilities sector for Great Britain in 2014 was around £7.9bn and has experienced growth of 64% since 2008, outperforming the wider infrastructure market over the last 2-3 years due to outstanding growth in the electricity sector. Construction output in the electricity sector more than quadrupled 2008-14, and this accounts for the overall improvement in sector performance over the period.
The chart indicates that utilities construction output grew by 49% 2009-11 but only by 10% 2011-14 when growth in the electricity sector was partly offset by declines in the water and sewerage sectors. The level of capital spending within the utilities sector is underpinned particularly through 5 year asset management and renewals programmes for individual sub-sectors such as water and electricity.
Underpinning construction output growth for the electricity sector during the past three to four years has been the expansion of the renewables sector, in particular offshore wind. In addition, the decommissioning of outdated power stations (both fossil fuel and nuclear) and the construction of new generation capacity, as well as the programme of renewal and improvement to the transmission and distribution networks have all boosted construction output. The water sector benefits to a degree from the continued focus of the Regulator on improved customer service and water quality initiatives which have resulted in greater spending on improvements to mains and water treatment plants. The refurbishment of the gas distribution network and building of new gas storage facilities have assisted in boosting output growth in this sector in recent years. Telecoms revenues have remained steady over the period, despite increasingly competitive pricing for mobile contracts.
Current prospects for the utilities sector into the medium-term remain optimistic with output set to increase until 2019. Fundamental to this positive forecast remains the influence of Government policy commitments in a number of areas such as the Renewables Obligation, energy security and the rollout of superfast broadband. These policies are underpinned by the Government's National Infrastructure Plan and the implementation of a number of measures to incentivise private investment. Another key influence is the influence of the regulatory environment in the water and energy sectors, which provides a framework for medium-term programmes of capital investment.
