The National Infrastructure Plan 2013 sets out the most robust, forward-looking infrastructure pipeline to date, including more detail than ever before on the status of planned and potential infrastructure investments in the UK.

The infrastructure pipeline is a forward-looking, bottom up assessment of potential infrastructure investment to 2020 and beyond, which includes large infrastructure projects with a capital value of £50 million and over. The pipeline also includes large capital programmes of investment worth £50 million or over, which may consist of a number of smaller projects which are grouped together and are often rolling investments.

This provides a strategic and more credible overview of the level of public and private infrastructure investment planned over the rest of this decade and beyond (though in sectors such as energy, ports and waste, the decision to go ahead with individual projects will be determined by the market). It enhances visibility and certainty for investors and the supply chain, and allows government to work more effectively to ensure that its infrastructure needs are met.

In publishing the infrastructure pipeline the government, supported by industry, remains committed to bringing the largest of these projects and programmes together in a single place to give greater visibility and understanding of the potential opportunities and to help track potential obstacles and opportunities. This visibility is critical to government and industry efforts to improve and accelerate delivery.

The overall value of the pipeline has increased from over £309 billion to over £375 billion of investment.
