Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced the launch of Great British Energy, a state-run green energy generation company, during a speech in Runcorn, Cheshire.
He revealed plans to build enough offshore wind capacity over the next five years to power 20 million homes, with the goal of reducing household energy bills by £300 annually.
Starmer lambasted the previous Conservative government for leaving behind a 'rot of shortsightedness and self-service,' claiming his administration discovers new issues daily.
Alongside Starmer, Energy Secretary Ed Miliband acknowledged that GB Energy would take time to become profitable, with an £8.3 billion investment set aside for new wind and solar projects.
The Great British Energy initiative is positioned as a catalyst for private investment and a step towards energy independence for the UK.
