What is Great British Energy?

Great British Energy is a new public energy company set up by the government. Its purpose is to invest in homegrown clean energy projects across the UK, reducing our reliance on imported fossil fuels. The £30 million fund for 'People's Power' is just the initial part of a much larger £1 billion investment programme, aiming for energy independence.
