Geothermal Power
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether he plans to include geothermal energy within the strategic remit of GB Energy.
Answered by Michael Shanks
Geothermal energy is a clean energy source and therefore falls within the group of technologies that are included within Great British Energy’s (GBE) remit, as set out in the GBE Bill.
The Secretary of State will prepare a Statement of Strategic Priorities (SSP) for GBE within six months of the date the Bill comes into force. The SSP will steer GBE on its approach to future investments.
