The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether he plans for GB Energy to have a public option retail arm.

Answered by Michael Shanks

No. The Government does not intend Great British Energy to be an energy retail company or to supply energy directly to households. Great British Energy will invest in, own and operate energy projects which will produce clean, cheap and homegrown power that is sold to retail companies.
