Miliband sets out GB Energy vision

Energy Secretary Ed Miliband has set out his vision for Great British Energy to deliver on the Government’s clean energy superpower mission.

Under its objectives, the company will drive clean energy deployment across the UK, as a developer, investor, and owner of projects.

People and communities will be at the heart of the company’s work, with an aim to increase public ownership in clean energy and back British supply chains. It will also work alongside the private sector, devolved governments, local authorities and community energy groups. 

Energy Secretary Ed Miliband said: “It is time to make things and own things in Britain again. That’s why we have set up Great British Energy to be a new national champion and allow us to reap the benefits of Britain’s abundant natural resources.

“Great British Energy will place working people, communities and British industries at its core, turbocharging clean energy across the country as part of our clean power mission.”
