Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what estimate he has made of the cost to the public purse of setting up GB Energy.

The cost to the taxpayer of Great British Energy set-up and investments will be carefully managed and monitored through parliament. As set out by Cabinet Office guidance on setting up new public bodies, a full business case will be developed for GBE, which will be published on Gov.uk in due course. Great British Energy investments will be subject to safeguards and risk assessments similar to established public finance institutions.
