The shift to a low-carbon future depends on reliable, intelligent networks and infrastructure to connect renewable generation to homes and businesses safely, cost-effectively, efficiently and sustainably.
Across the UK and Ireland, that transformation is happening right now. Distributed renewable energy in particular is delivering a fundamental change to the way we generate, distribute and consume energy. In the current geopolitical climate, national energy security and availability has never been more important.
We’re helping to shape this transition. Working with major generation and network operators and long-term joint-venture partners, we deliver the crucial infrastructure that keeps the lights on and the economy moving.

From new renewable generation assets to transmission and distribution networks, our expert teams combine deep technical knowledge with digital innovation and sustainability leadership to create infrastructure solutions that are ready for the challenges of tomorrow.
BAM’s role in delivering low-carbon infrastructure is expanding fast, to align with the UK Government’s £725bn Infrastructure Strategy – which champions long-term investment in clean energy, workforce development and resilience – as well as Ireland’s target of 80% renewable electricity by 2030.
We’re driving the decarbonisation of the grid. By integrating renewables, enabling interconnectors and upgrading transmission and distribution systems, we’re helping to create a cleaner, more nature-friendly and adaptable energy landscape.
And social value sits at the heart of our energy work. Often, our projects are in remote areas where job options are limited and it can be hard to attract inward investment.
By supporting and funding local skills, apprenticeships and community initiatives wherever we operate, we’re making sure that the transition to net zero brings opportunities for people as well as for power.
“One of the biggest challenges to enabling the flow of clean energy across the UK and Ireland is a shortage of specialist skills. We’re investing in the people needed to deliver a stronger, greener grid: creating meaningful employment, skills and training opportunities.”
