Proposal For Government Backed Electrotechnical Sector Strategy

Speaking at BEAMA’s AGM in November, Dr Vince Cable, Secretary of State for Business Innovation and Skills, welcomed the publication. BEAMA’s CEO, Dr Howard Porter, believes the time is right to drag important electrotechnical infrastructure out of broader construction and utility manufacturing Sector Strategy Groups to give it the focus it requires. "Some £150bn needs to be invested in our energy infrastructure over the coming decade, and, whilst much of this will go towards generation, there is a very strong need to ensure we have a coherent manufacturing policy for distribution technologies and smart building infrastructure,” he said.
