GB Energy Bill ‘must be bolder’

GB Energy Bill ‘must be bolder’

The Labour government’s GB Energy Bill is a significant step towards a more sustainable future, particularly with its commitment to achieving net zero emissions from the electricity grid by 2030. This legislation is a positive development, especially for newly elected Green Party MPs like myself.

The green energy revolution that the government is spearheading is truly exciting, with a goal of 100% clean electricity by 2030. The GB Energy Bill currently making its way through Parliament is crucial in supporting and accelerating renewable energy development, providing the sector with the confidence needed to invest and innovate.

However, as we move forward with this legislation, it is essential to ensure that the limited government funding for GB Energy will effectively address the climate emergency we are facing. There are key areas that must be addressed to maximize the impact of this legislation.

One major aspect that needs attention is the link between the climate and nature crises. While the Bill focuses on accelerating renewable energy delivery, it lacks a specific remit for GB Energy to contribute to nature’s recovery. Incorporating a nature recovery duty would align with biodiversity goals set under the Environment Act and ensure that we meet climate targets while also benefiting biodiversity.

Additionally, it is crucial to explicitly prohibit GB Energy from being involved in drilling and burning fossil fuels. By making it clear that no funds will go towards fossil fuel energy projects, we can reduce the UK’s exposure to price volatility and protect households from energy price shocks.

Community energy projects, which are owned and controlled by local communities, play a vital role in the renewable energy transition. It is essential to include community energy representation in GB Energy’s governance structures and ensure that funds reach community energy cooperatives to maximize their impact.

Furthermore, energy efficiency, particularly in terms of home insulation, should not be overlooked. Investing in street-by-street home insulation is key to lowering energy bills, enhancing energy security, and improving public health. This should be a priority in the government’s efforts to reduce energy demand and lift people out of fuel poverty.

As MPs debate the GB Energy Bill, there is an opportunity to make it even more ambitious and ensure that every pound invested addresses the climate and nature challenges we face. The energy sector is crucial in decarbonizing our economy, and GB Energy has the potential to be a game-changer in our energy transition.

Adrian Ramsay MP, Green Party co-leader, emphasizes the importance of seizing this opportunity to maximize the value of investments in addressing climate and nature challenges. Let’s work together to create a more sustainable future for all.
