Great British Energy (shortened to GB Energy or GBE) is a planned British government-owned renewable energy investment body that forms part of the Labour Party's plans for energy policy.^[2][3][4][5] The proposed body would invest in renewable energy and own, manage and operate clean power projects.^[6] Proposals for the body were put forward by Labour in 2021 while in opposition, and the first steps to establish it were taken in late 2024 by the Starmer government.

As of January 2025^[update], the Great British Energy Bill that is intended to formally set up Great British Energy is in the committee stage in the House of Lords and will enter the report stage on 11 February 2025.^[7]
