New towns will need to be connected to the National Grid before houses can be occupied. The Grid will need to meet the increase in demand which new towns will require. In addition to these challenges, the construction of new towns will occur at a time when the UK is transitioning away from fossil fuels towards an electrified economy, while demands for energy, such as for electric car charging and data centres, are increasing. 68
