Energy: Prices

Written question asked by Bradley Thomas (Conservative) on Thursday, 12 December 2024, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Friday, 6 December 2024. It was answered by Michael Shanks (Labour) on Thursday, 12 December 2024 on behalf of the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero.

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what his Department's timetable is for lowering energy bills for people in Bromsgrove constituency, in the context of the Great British Energy Bill.

Answer

Great British Energy is a key part of the government's mission to make Britain a clean energy superpower. This is a sustainable, long-term plan to protect billpayers. In an unstable world, the only way to guarantee our energy security and protect billpayers permanently is to accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels and towards homegrown clean energy.

We are progressing the Great British Energy Bill through Parliament. By putting the company on a statutory footing and using the £100 million of capital funding announced at Autumn Budget, Great British Energy will be able to hit the ground running next year.
