DESNZ priorities are:

• Leading the government mission to achieve clean power by 2030 and accelerate to net zero: this will boost energy independence, protect billpayers, create growth and jobs and reduce carbon emissions
• British jobs and supply chains and a successful Great British Energy: create an active industrial strategy which supports clean energy industries and the transition to net zero, establish Great British Energy – creating good jobs and building domestic supply chains across the country
• Warm Homes Plan: Advance home decarbonisation this parliament to cut people’s bills, decarbonise the buildings sector, and cut fuel poverty
• A fairer deal for consumers: lowering bills and spreading costs more progressively. We will strengthen Ofgem to ensure consumer interests come first, and it can hold companies to account for wrongdoing
• Establishing a just and orderly transition away from fossil fuels: a fair and prosperous transition in the North Sea – consistent with our position on no new oil and gas licences and our commitment to accelerating the deployment of offshore wind, CCUS and hydrogen
• Leading the fight against climate change and supporting global action: demonstrate success in the path to net zero at home and take a leadership role in the fight against climate change
