Energy and Land Support for Automation
Infrastructure support can matter more than a cash grant.
What is often offered
| Support | What it means in practice |
|---|---|
| Land access | Priority allocation in industrial parks |
| Utility connection | Subsidised or accelerated power connections |
| Capacity guarantees | Assured supply for high-load facilities |
| Rent relief | Reduced rent in early years |
| Shared facilities | Common testing or logistics infrastructure |
What to check
- Whether the commitments are in the agreement or only in negotiation.
- The timetable for utility connections, which often drives project schedules.
- Any conditions attached, such as investment or employment levels.
Infrastructure commitments should be written into agreements. Take legal advice for major investments.
