Getting to a carbon neutral , low cost , efficient energy system will require a huge commitment and investment . A local energy strategy , developed by Siemens , for three Local Enterprise Partnerships covering the southeast of England , makes clear the scale of commitment ; it identified an investment requirement from both the public and private sector of £ 14 billion . The strategy identifies 18 key projects across five themes . “ We have identified real projects which can get off the ground ,” says Ennis . “ But it needs a collaborative effort from the public and private sector . These are projects which you can learn quickly from and scale up . To decarbonise you have to do it at scale – nothing will change at the pace it needs to if you only take small steps .”
