Asked by Andrew BowieConservativeDepartment for Energy Security and Net ZeroTabled Answered 11 February 2025UIN 28140

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what criteria his Department will use to measure the success of GB Energy in delivering (a) employment and (b) investment in Scotland.

Answered by Michael Shanks

Delivering jobs and investment is at the heart of Great British Energy’s (GBE) mission to drive clean energy deployment, to create jobs, boost energy independence, to 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. Parliament will also be presented with a copy of the annual report and accounts of Great British Energy which will include details of GBE’s performance in delivering its mission, such as supporting jobs and projects across the country, including Scotland.
