Great British Energy: Aberdeen

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what plans his Department has for his existing departmental offices in Aberdeen.

Answered by Michael Shanks

The plan for the Department’s offices in Aberdeen is to continue to provide value for money office space in the right location, which meets minimum standards to facilitate the activities that are located there. This includes the core Department 2nd HQ, alongside arm's-length bodies: the North Sea Transition Authority HQ and the Great British (GB) Energy HQ. (GB Energy is expected to become an arm’s-length body of the Department in the future.)
