The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what estimate his Department has made of when the satellite sites for Great British Energy in Edinburgh will (a) be announced and (b) open.

Answered by Michael Shanks

This Government is focused on establishing Great British Energy at its Headquarters in Aberdeen.
