Great British Energy (shortened to GB Energy or GBE) is a planned British governmental investment body and publicly owned energy generation company that forms part of the Labour Party's plans for energy policy.[2][3][4][5] The proposed body would invest in renewable energy and own, manage and operate clean power projects. The Labour government intends to pass legislation in the form of a "Great British Energy Bill" [6] to enable the creation of the company.[7]
