Scottish Affairs Committee: GB Energy and the net zero transition
Committee hears from witnesses
The Scottish Affairs Committee will take oral evidence on GB Energy and Scotland's net zero transition. This hearing will examine how the GB Energy company—a key government initiative to accelerate clean energy deployment—operates in Scotland and its role in delivering net zero targets, likely covering investment, infrastructure, and regional coordination between UK and Scottish governments.
GB Energy is central to the Labour government's energy strategy and net zero commitments. Scotland's energy transition is crucial to UK-wide net zero goals, particularly given Scotland's renewable energy resources and existing ambitious climate targets. This hearing will scrutinise whether GB Energy effectively supports Scotland's role in decarbonisation and energy security.
