Labour’s new GB Energy aims to boost green power, with Keir Starmer promising Britain’s energy will be a strength, not a vulnerability.
Britain's government has unveiled a strategic plan for GB Energy to develop 15 GW of clean energy by 2030, aiming to power nearly 10 million homes, create 10,000 jobs, and mobilize £15 billion in private investment. The initiative emphasizes public ownership and regional development.
Labour's Energy Secretary announced initiatives to lower energy bills and expand green jobs at the Labour Party Conference. He condemned Reform UK’s opposition to clean energy, highlighted plans to fund solar installations on public sites, and outlined a goal to double sector employment by 2030. The speech also included workers' rights reforms.
