Labour won the 2024 general election with a promise to make the UK “a clean energy superpower”. Part of that vision is the creation of Great British Energy, a public company that will strive to achieve zero-carbon electricity production by 2030 (just over one parliamentary term away).
Achieving this target will be a symbolic step towards addressing the complex challenges of climate change. Decarbonisation will require most of the economy to be run on electricity, so a zero-carbon electricity system is fundamental.
