Labour has pledged to create a public energy company called Great British Energy to tackle the cost-of-living crisis and boost clean energy usage. The company, funded by a windfall tax on big oil and gas firms, will invest in wind and solar projects across the UK and promote Scotland as a leader in new technologies. The aim is to create a more energy-independent UK and lower energy bills for households.
