Board of directors
We are overseen by an experienced board of industry and trade union experts. They bring knowledge on workplace rights, building UK supply chains and driving investment in clean energy. They will set our strategy for how we will work with the energy sector and local communities.
Great British Energy poses an incredible opportunity for jobs, including reskilling, and growth across the country.
Juergen Maier
It is essential that we are socially responsible in what we do and create local value.
We will:
Aberdeen is the perfect location for Britain's publicly owned energy company. It is a world-leading energy hub and has been crucial to our energy security for decades. Now the city plays a vital role in our transition to clean energy.
Hundreds of thousands of engineers, scientists, and technicians call Aberdeen home. That is why we are proud to make Aberdeen our home too. We're committed to becoming a part of the Aberdeen community. We'll draw on the abundant local talent to provide investment and support for projects across the country.
In the longer term, sites in Glasgow and Edinburgh will allow us to maximise access to expertise across Scotland. This combination of regional expertise and national government will make Great British Energy a success.
We are an operationally independent company owned by the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero.
The Great British Energy Bill will formally establish the company when it is passed by Parliament.
