Is Labour’s GB Energy a Green Dream?

Implementation of the Labour government’s “GB Energy” will be critical to meeting the 2050 Net Zero target. GB Energy promises:

  • A ‘publicly owned energy company’ delivering 100% clean energy.
  • Savings for households of a whopping £93 billion!
  • A form of public ownership in a sector monopolised by profiteers.

Will these promises be delivered and crucially, is the Labour government ready to take on big oil and gas?
