<p>The Department was created in February 2023 to transform Britain’s energy security and scale up affordable, clean, homegrown power. By March it had published ‘Powering up Britain’, the Government’s strategy to ensure the UK remains among the fastest decarbonising nations in the world, and announced the first £20 billion carbon capture projects for our industrial heartlands. The Department launched Great British Nuclear; scaled up Britain’s renewables; and expanded energy efficiency support. The Department’s Energy Bill will leverage private investment in clean technologies and open up almost half a million new green jobs by 2030.</p> |
