We exist to accelerate clean energy deployment, strengthen energy security, and ensure that UK workers, communities and taxpayers share directly in the benefits of a cleaner, more resilient energy system.

GBE will invest in, develop, build and operate the technologies the UK needs to increase energy independence, while giving communities a direct stake in the transition.

Joining GBE means contributing at the very start of this journey: delivering long-term public value, helping shape the UK's energy future, and building your career in a mission-led, values-driven organisation.

From our base in Aberdeen, we are building GBE not just as a company, but as a cornerstone of the UK's energy landscape: a trusted, transparent and innovative public champion that stands shoulder to shoulder with the leading state-owned energy companies of Europe. GBE will become recognised both at home and abroad as a world class energy institution that embodies the values, expertise and ambition of the UK.

The Great British Energy Act, which received Royal Assent in May 2025, provided for the UK's first publicly owned national energy company to develop, own and operate energy assets since the privatisation of the Central Electricity Generating Board in the early 1990s. The 2025 Spending Review allocated GBE and GBE Nuclear over £8.3 billion to deploy towards our missions of delivering clean energy for the people.
