Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what plans he has for GB Energy (a) investments in renewable energy supply chains and (b) (i) whole and (ii) partial ownership of supply chain manufacturing companies.

As set out in Great British Energy’s Founding Statement, supporting British supply chains is one of the five key functions of this new publicly-owned energy company. Government is committed to supporting the transition to an affordable, decarbonised power system by 2030, built using domestic manufacturing and supply chains. Government will provide further detail as to the role that Great British Energy will play in due course as we continue to work towards putting a plan in motion to deliver a comprehensive package of support for domestic clean energy supply chains that will significantly boost the number of skilled jobs in these essential industries.
