Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking to increase the domestic ownership of UK-based offshore wind capacity.

Economic growth is Government's top priority and investment is a key pillar of our growth strategy. The UK is open to investment from around the world. Great British Energy, which is fully owned by the British people, will own, manage, and operate clean energy projects across the UK, generating homegrown electricity. By partnering with The Crown Estate, GBE will help maximise the delivery of clean energy infrastructure, which could include offshore wind. As Great British Energy will be operationally independent, the exact mix of technologies it chooses to invest in will be determined in due course.
