clean energy superpower
Labour is determined to make Britain a clean energy superpower. Britain’s energy supply will be more secure if we generate more energy here at home.
Our work so far
-
GREAT BRITISH ENERGY
Great British Energy launched
Labour has launched Great British Energy – our publicly owned energy company, designed to power Britain with clean, secure, home-grown energy. GB Energy is already delivering its first major project installing rooftop solar panels on hundreds of schools and NHS sites, saving them hundreds of millions of pounds on their energy bills.
It’s all part of our goal to deliver Clean Power by 2030 – making Britain more energy secure, bringing down energy bills in the long term, and delivering good jobs in our industrial heartlands. -
CLEAN WATER
Unfair bonuses for polluting water bosses banned
At the General Election, we promised to ban undeserved bonuses to stop water company executives being rewarded for polluting our rivers, lakes and seas. And we’ve delivered, with the landmark Water Act 2025 coming into force earlier this year banning unfair bonuses for six water companies with immediate effect.

CLEAN POWER
Backing our clean energy industry
Labour is backing our clean energy industry and jobs with the most significant investment in homegrown clean energy in Britain’s history. This includes building the Sizewell C nuclear plant which will help to create 10,000 jobs, approving enough clean energy projects to power the equivalent of 2 million homes, and creating two first-of-a-kind carbon capture and storage clusters in Teesside and the North West.

WARM HOMES
Cutting bills for millions of families
We’re cutting energy bills for 2.7 million more households this winter by expanding the Warm Home Discount – saving families £150 when they need it most. Over 6 million households will now benefit, including 900,000 more families with children and 1.8 million households in fuel poverty. As we build a system that can bring down bills for good, we are determined to fix a broken energy market and support families struggling now.
Why this is important
The climate and nature crisis is the greatest long-term global challenge that we face.
The clean energy transition represents a huge opportunity to generate growth, tackle the cost-of-living crisis and make Britain energy independent once again.
Our mission to deliver clean power by 2030 will bring energy security, protect billpayers, create good jobs, and help to protect future generations from the cost of climate breakdown.

Plan for Change
Our Plan for Change sets out ambitious but achievable milestones that will be reached by the end of this Parliament as we drive forward towards delivering on our key national missions, making real improvements to the lives of working people.
Built on the foundations of economic stability, secure borders and national security, this is what Labour will deliver by the next election:
