The Clean Power Action Plan outlines how we're going to get to clean power by 2030.
Delivering on the Prime Minister's Plan for Change, it represents the boldest set of changes to our electricity system in a generation.
A new era focusing on the power of our natural resources.

📢ScottishPower awards £1BN offshore wind turbine contract 📢
The turbine blades for our East Anglia TWO offshore windfarm will be produced at @SiemensGamesa’s Hull factory, providing a huge boost for UK manufacturing – supporting 1,300 local jobs.
The windfarm will produce enough clean energy to power the equivalent of almost 1 million homes.

...Delighted to play my part on GB Energy Bill Committee making sure we keep up the speed on our commitment to deliver a publicly owned energy company.
Today the Great British Energy Bill passed its Committee stage and now returns to the Commons. We are a step closer to delivering a publicly owned energy company.
My thanks to everyone involved in this process - Bill Committee MPs, clerks, witnesses and civil servants.
