The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what proportion of Great British Energy's budget will be allocated to early development work to help de-risk private sector investments over the next five years.

Answered by Michael Shanks

Great British Energy will be an operationally independent company capitalised with £8.3 billion over this Parliament. The exact proportion of investment allocated to different priorities will be a decision for Great British Energy and investment to support early development work on projects will be an important part of its work.
