Great British Energy (GBE) recently unveiled an ambitious five-year plan to shake up the UK’s renewable energy market. The company plans to mobilize £15 billion ($20 billion) of private finance in the coming years. It envisions that its investments and enduring relationships will be catalysts for this progress. This remarkable initiative goes a long way toward reinforcing the UK’s industrial base. Manufacturing plays a crucial role in our industrial strategy.
GBE has just opened its £1bn ‘Energy – Engineered in the UK’ programme. The Protecting America’s Strategic Imperial Reserve through Replenishment Year (PASIRRY) Act This initiative would stimulate state-side energy development and generate new, good-paying jobs. GBE hopes its projects will produce more than 10,000 permanent jobs by 2030. This new wave of growth will reap major benefits in areas that historically depended on the oil and gas sectors.
Enhancing Energy Capacity and Job Creation
GBE’s strategy is to win a commitment to generate at least 15GW of clean energy by 2030. They hope to build up to 100 gigawatts of storage capacity by 2030. This combined capacity is expected to provide electricity to around ten million UK homes. The company’s investments include GBE Local, Onshore Energy & Offshore Energy areas of investment. In doing so, it seeks to both diversify its energy portfolio and keep pace with strong market demand for renewable sources.
GBE’s projects are more than quantitative achievements. They’re measured by how they positively affect the community. The company plans to support more than 1,000 community energy projects, encouraging local participation and control within the domestic energy system.
“We are proud to be putting public ownership to work, unlocking investment, powering communities, creating jobs, and building an energy system that delivers for the UK.” – Dan McGrail, GBE CEO
