The Times sits down with GB Energy’s leadership for an exclusive Innovation Zero interview on the future of the UK’s first ever public energy company, exploring what technologies and areas of the energy system GB Energy plans to invest in, and how it aims to deliver lower bills while backing early-stage innovation.

The conversation will delve into the company’s investment model and how it will scale up its operations, budget, and workforce in its first year. And looking ahead to the early 2030s: How autonomous will GB Energy be? When will it become self-funding? And how is it navigating political uncertainty about its long-term future?

Join us for an unmissable discussion on one of the UK’s most ambitious energy transitions.
