Ed Miliband’s energy department, despite pushing renewables, powers its HQ with fossil fuels, citing cost, sparking criticism over hypocrisy.
Ed Miliband’s Department of Energy Security and Net Zero, despite championing renewable energy, has its Whitehall headquarters powered by fossil fuels, according to Freedom of Information data.
Over 80% of government electricity comes from oil and gas, with the department citing cost-effectiveness for its choice.
Critics call the move hypocritical, especially as some public bodies have switched to greener energy.
The department notes a 15% drop in direct emissions since 2017/18 and over £62 billion in private clean energy investment since 2024, but the gap between policy and practice fuels skepticism about the government’s climate commitments.
