WIF Seminar | The Challenges for AMP8

This seminar will explore the challenges confronting the UK water sector and their potential impact on the English and Welsh water companies’ asset management investment programmes from 2025.

Ofwat’s Price Review 2024 will set the price, service and incentive package for English and Welsh water companies for the Asset Management Period 2025-2030 (AMP8). The resulting asset management plan is shaping up to be the most challenging of any investment programme since privatisation.

However, each stakeholder group within the UK water sector sees the challenges to be addressed from a different perspective. To gain a greater understanding, we have invited speakers from:

• National Infrastructure Commission
• Ofwat
• Environment Agency
• Blueprint for Water
• United Utilities
• Galliford Try
• Stantec
• University of Sheffield

to give their own perspective by answering the following questions:

1. What do you see as the main challenges for the UK water sector over the coming decade?
2. How do you see these impacting the AMP 8 investment programme?
3. What needs to be done now in preparation for AMP8?

Following the speaker presentations, the audience will be given the opportunity to ask questions during the panel Q&A sessions.
