The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what financial targets his Department has set to ensure that Great British Energy is self-sustaining by 2030.

Answered by Michael Shanks

The government has set a target for Great British Energy to start generating a portfolio-level return from its commercial activities by 2030, in support of its longer-term goal to be profitable and its wider policy objectives. The government has also tasked GBE with having a plan for becoming self-financing in place by 2030.
