Proposal for a Post EU UK Industrial PolicyRupert Keyzar
1) The document proposes a post-Brexit industrial policy for the UK that focuses on rebuilding the shipbuilding and ship repair industries. It argues this could help reduce regional economic imbalances, bring jobs and prosperity back to former industrial areas, and strengthen the overall economy.
2) As an example, it suggests restoring the mothballed Pallion shipyard in Sunderland as a prototype, upgrading facilities to modern standards to allow it to compete for contracts. This could generate local employment and economic growth.
3) Rebuilding UK shipbuilding capabilities through government support and tailored regulations could enable the country to regain a share of the global shipbuilding market, export industry, and support domestic needs like border security vessels.

The document discusses factors that influence the location of industry and how industry has changed over time in South Wales. It notes that traditional heavy industries like coal and steel declined as raw materials became exhausted. New industries have located in South Wales due to incentives and being near ports for importing raw materials. Industries have shifted from heavy to high-tech and light manufacturing, moving from 'soot' to 'Sony'. Regional assistance through groups like the Welsh Development Agency has attracted foreign investment and created new jobs.

Whole system electricity and the end-userits_only_g
This document discusses the concept of whole-system thinking and what it means for end-users. Whole-system thinking takes a holistic view that considers how all parts of an energy system interact, instead of looking at individual components in isolation. This approach is important for end-users because it aims to develop optimized, cost-effective solutions by avoiding suboptimal outcomes that can occur when different aspects of the system are considered separately. The document provides several charts and graphs showing projected changes in various environmental levies and transmission network use system charges over time as illustration. It advocates for new approaches and business models that embrace whole-system thinking to better serve end-user needs.
