UK establishes publicly owned Great British Energy to invest in clean power
The Great British Energy Act, which received Royal Assent in 2025, established Great British Energy as a publicly owned company headquartered in Aberdeen, mandated to invest in and co-develop clean-energy generation, capitalised with several billion pounds. Championed by Energy Secretary Ed Miliband, the company is intended to crowd in private investment, take stakes in renewable projects, and support the government's 2030 clean-power goals. It represents a structural state intervention in favour of renewable buildout.
