The government has unveiled “Mission Control for Clean Power,” a new organization aimed at ramping up efforts to provide affordable and clean energy across the country by 2030.

Led by former Climate Change Committee chief executive Chris Stark, the initiative promises a dedicated focus on shifting away from volatile fossil fuel markets towards domestically produced clean energy. This move is expected to enhance energy independence and reduce costs for British consumers.

Mission Control will serve as a centralized hub, bringing together industry experts and officials to streamline energy projects. It will collaborate closely with key stakeholders such as Ofgem, the , and the System Operator to expedite the integration of new power into the grid.

According to Energy Security and Net Zero Secretary Ed Miliband, the initiative aims to rectify years of underinvestment in energy infrastructure, which has contributed to energy insecurity and rising costs for consumers.

Miliband emphasized, “This new Mission Control centre, under Chris Stark's leadership, will play a pivotal role in achieving our goal of clean power by 2030. By making a clean energy superpower, we aim to lower energy bills, create jobs, and bolster national security.”

Chris Stark echoed these sentiments, highlighting the opportunity to position the UK as a leader in the global race towards net zero emissions. He stressed the potential to not only reduce carbon emissions but also to lower household energy bills through proactive measures.

“This work alongside top energy experts will pave the way for significant progress in tackling the climate crisis,” Stark added.
