Keir Starmer has vowed to create a state-owned power company if the Labour Party wins the next election.
The Labour leader said the Great British Energy would boost the supply of renewable power by harnessing the country's sun, wind and waves. The nationalised electricity generator, which will work alongside existing private firms, aims to bring down prices for families as well as delivering energy independence for Britain.
He said: "A new company that takes advantage of the opportunities in clean British power and because it's right for jobs, because it's right for growth, because it's right for energy independence from tyrants like Putin. Yes conference, Great British Energy will be publicly owned."
