Thank you @enbw-ag.bsky.social Energie Baden-Württemberg, for giving us a view of what @greatbritishenergy.bsky.social might look like in 10 years' time. I left with enthusiasm and confidence that we are on the right path - along with a few nuggets of brilliant, innovative ideas and advice as well 👇

Thrilled to be back in #Hull discussing local supply chain opportunities in #renewableenergy. The Humber's potential is immense! Engaged with Mayor Luke Campbell & Simon Green of Humber Freeport. Looking forward to @greatbritishenergy.bsky.social helping engineer more new green energy in the UK!

Feeling very #European in #Manchester this evening at this reception for #EU Ambassadors - visiting to foster links at cultural, citizen, and political level. It seems that slowly we will edge back to the things we took for granted and now miss because we are all European and have lots in common.

Congratulations Dan McGrail!

Very much looking forward to working with you as we create and scale the publicly owned @greatbritishenergy.bsky.social company, and all the jobs and clean power we will help generate 👇

It has been great to be back in #Aberdeen this week for our second #GreatBritishEnergy board meeting.

Great to learn about the many supply chain companies growing into clean power growth technologies, and also to hear about the challenges we need to help unlock many more such opportunities.

At #RUKGOW25 today, and as SOS, Ed Miliband said in his speech today, this industry has in 15 years gone from being in the margins, to being in the mainstream of UK industrial and economic policy. 32,000 people now work in UKs offshore wind sector alone and this is set to grow rapidly.

Exciting - Our journey to becoming a publicly owned #cleanpower company truly start today!

We will embrace the responsibility that comes with this to accelerate clean power generation and boosting economic growth and jobs in our key coastal industrial regions.

Happy #renewable energy Saturday, love a bright and windy day.

#GreatBritishEnergy's first major investment today - a roll out of roof top clean solar power on our schools and hospitals.

Energy savings of £400m from these installations will be reinvested back into education and healthcare, so a tremendous community investment.

Welcome on board to #GreatBritishEnergy Dan McGrail, very much looking forward to working with you, as we drive forward the #energytransition with all the great clean power, great jobs and prosperity that will create.

It was a pleasure to represent the UK and #GreatBritishEnergy at the Oslo Energy Forum this week. A takeaway for me:
#Norwegian energy companies and investors think we in the #UK are managing the #energytransition better than we in the UK believe we are. They also appreciate our leadership.

I'm delighted to announce an important milestone for #GreatBritishEnergy, as we bring together an expert board to rapidly scale up the company and get to work in delivering our UK-wide clean energy revolution 👇

Fascinating discussions with Greg Jackson of @octopus.energy today.
They are showing how flexible, agile energy pricing is bringing energy costs down, enabled by more renewable energy generation.

#GBE plans to enable more of that and help make energy bills more predictable and lower.

#PenyCymoedd Wind Farm is the largest onshore wind farm in England and Wales, with 76 turbines that can power 15% of homes in Wales with renewable electricity.

Fantastic to discuss with @Vattenfall opportunities for expanding projects like this and the value created for local communities.

Nice to be back in #Aberdeenshire.
As I've been saying for some time, the #EnergyTransition is creating very significant opportunity for UK's ports and key coastal regions. Fantastic to see those opportunities first hand at #Peterhead and #Fraserburgh Ports today.

My speech at #OneNorth #Hull conference today;

"We can see the re-industrialisation happen in the #Humber and other key coastal hubs"

"We now have the opportunity to accelerate, totally decarbonise our energy system, electrify our economy and create 1000s of well paid jobs for our communities"
