Navigating AMP8: Understanding the Future of Water Sustainability

The Asset Management Plan 8 (AMP 8) is an initiative to regenerate the British water industry over a five- year period. It is set by the UK’s Water Services Regulation Authority, Ofwat, with the aim to build better water services, resilience and sustainability. The plan began in April 2025 and will run until 2030, aligning with the broader focus on achieving Net Zero by 2030.  

At Reconomy Connect, we understand the pressures water companies face under AMP8. From tighter environmental regulations to the demand for digital innovation, the stakes are high. That’s why we’re committed to delivering compliant, efficient, and cost-effective waste management solutions that align with AMP8’s core objectives. 

 

What Is AMP8? 

AMP8 is the latest five-year regulatory framework set by Ofwat, designed to drive improvements in: 

  • Environmental performance: Reducing pollution, enhancing biodiversity, and cutting carbon emissions. 
  • Customer satisfaction: Meeting C-Mex and D-Mex targets through better service and engagement. 
  • Resilience and affordability: Building infrastructure that withstands climate challenges while keeping services accessible. [resources.fyld.ai]
