Great British Energy (GBE) and Great British Energy-Nuclear (GBE-N) are separate public bodies.

The Great British Energy Act 2025 provides the statutory basis for GBE and The Energy Act 2023 provides the statutory basis for GBE-N.

GBE’s headquarters will be in Aberdeen and GBE-N's headquarters are in Warrington. The two entities do not share staff.
