The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, with reference to the policy paper entitled Plan for Change, published on 5 December 2024, CP1210, what criteria he will use to measure the success of Great British Energy; and if his Department will publish quarterly data on (a) investment returns, (b) operating costs and (c) contribution to the clean energy target.

Answered by Michael Shanks

Great British Energy’s (GBE) mission is to drive clean energy deployment, to create jobs, boost energy independence, and ensure UK taxpayers, billpayers, and communities reap the benefits of clean, secure, homegrown energy.

GBE will be held accountable through regular reporting to the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. Furthermore, Parliament will be presented with a copy of the annual report and accounts of Great British Energy. Parliament will also be able to hold GBE to account through the normal methods of accountability.
