The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking to establish GB Energy.

Answered by Michael Shanks

The Government has taken immediate action towards establishing Great British Energy – a new publicly-owned energy company, headquartered in Scotland.

The Government has now published the launch statement for Great British Energy, announced a chair and Great British Energy’s first major partnership with The Crown Estate. The Government is also introducing the Great British Energy Bill to Parliament, establishing Great British Energy so it can turbocharge investment in clean, home-grown power – boosting energy independence, creating jobs and tackling climate change.
