Great British Energy: Staff
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, with reference to the Answer of 27 April 2026 to Question 128930 relating to Great British Energy staff numbers, how many people working for Great British Energy are employed as (a) permanent, (b) temporary and (c) contingent labour staff from other public sector roles.
Answered by Michael Shanks
(a) There are currently 30 permanent staff assigned to Great British Energy (GBE).
(b) There are 37 temporarily assigned staff from the Department of Energy Security and Net Zero, with 21 staff on loan to GBE from other departments across government and 12 secondments from various government departments and external organisations
(c) There are 23 contingent staff assigned to GBE.
GBE has had its Workforce Pay Case agreed and we expect it to significantly ramp up recruitment of permanent roles over the next financial year.
