Earlier today, Chancellor of the Exchequer Rt Hon Rachel Reeves delivered the Budget, The Labour Party’s first in power for 14 years. The Budget raised taxes by £40 billion, raising the tax burden to its highest level ever in an attempt to close the claimed £22 billion ‘black hole’ in the public finances and boost funding for public services.   Of most interest to the energy and infrastructure sectors:   ◾The Government confirmed sweeping changes to the Government’s fiscal rules, freeing up an estimated £100 billion to spend on investment in road, rail and green energy projects over five years. ◾£22 billion in funding was confirmed for two carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects (previously announced). ◾Other funding confirmed included 11 new green hydrogen projects across the UK, an additional £1 billion for the aerospace sector and £2 billion for the automotive sector. ◾HS2 has been confirmed as terminating at London Euston.   For further detail on measures announced at the Budget and analysis on what this means for energy and infrastructure, read our report here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dYka5wKg #PublicAffairs #Budget #Energy #Infrastructure #NetZero
