Powering Up Britain: Energy Security Plan Powering Up Britain sets out the department’s approach to energy security and net zero, and acts as an introduction to Powering Up Britain: Energy Security Plan, and Powering Up Britain: Net Zero Growth Plan, both of which are complementary and should be read alongside each other. The energy transition in line with net zero is one of the greatest economic opportunities for this country and we are committed to ensuring that the UK takes advantage of its early mover status. This will make us much more energy independent, to protect us from volatile international energy markets, while underpinning our clean energy transition, so the UK becomes a net zero economy by 2050. The new department’s mission is to replace our energy with cheaper, cleaner, domestic sources. We will be powered by renewables including wind and solar, hydrogen, power with carbon capture, usage and storage ( CCUS) and new nuclear plants - while recognising the vital role that UK oil and gas will play in the transition.

Energy security is one of this government’s greatest priorities – and why the Prime Minister created the new Department for Energy Security and Net Zero in February.
