DIP-ping into the DESNZ budget

The outgoing Prime Minister has confirmed that funding the Defence Investment Plan (DIP) will require capital projects in roads and energy to be scrapped. On top of the 1% reduction in capital budgets that all Departments must find to fund the DIP, DESNZ will be tasked with finding a further £2bn savings over four years. For DESNZ this means a £100m capital budget reduction this calendar year, £600m in 2027/28, £700m in 2028/29, and £600m in 2029/30. This article explores where these savings might come and potential impact on DESNZ commitments.
