Labour's manifesto in the UK proposes the establishment of GB Energy, a publicly-owned clean power company aimed at creating jobs, reducing energy bills, and investing in renewable energy technologies. The manifesto outlines plans for GB Energy to partner with industry and trade unions, co-invest in leading technologies, and deploy local energy production to benefit communities across the country. With an allocated funding of £8.3 billion over the next parliament, GB Energy aims to collaborate with private sector investors to build and own renewable energy production. The initiative targets the installation of 20,000 clean power projects, focusing on onshore wind, solar, and hydropower, while advocating for government support for projects and technologies that may not be commercially viable yet. Additionally, the manifesto emphasizes the importance of government investment in infrastructure to attract private investors. The model for GB Energy is inspired by majority state-owned energy companies in Europe, aiming to generate profit for the public purse and contribute to the net zero emissions goal. Despite claims of reducing energy bills for consumers, uncertainties exist around the long-term cost competitiveness of renewable energy compared to fossil fuels. The initiative also raises questions about the potential impact on energy prices, especially in relation to the support for new nuclear power plants. Overall, Labour's GB Energy plan represents a bold move towards a greener future, highlighting the role of state enterprise in driving renewable energy innovation and economic growth.
