The UK Government's newly established Great British Energy (GB Energy) is expected to be headquartered in Aberdeen, though official confirmation from Prime Minister Keir Starmer is anticipated soon. This publicly-owned energy company will not supply power to homes but will focus on funding clean technologies and renewable energy projects, with plans for satellite offices in Glasgow and Edinburgh. The decision to place the headquarters in Aberdeen is seen as beneficial given the city's historical ties to the oil and gas sector. Concerns have been raised by the Offshore Energy UK trade body regarding proposed windfall taxes that could significantly reduce investments in the sector. Although the Labour government has made commitments for job creation through GB Energy, there remains confusion over whether the company will directly produce energy. Overall, the establishment of GB Energy aligns with Labour's pledge to bolster Scotland's renewable energy landscape.
