Great British Energy (GBE) has confirmed Marischal Square in central Aberdeen as its permanent headquarters.
The publicly owned company will lease space in the Aberdeen City Council building, which will be managed by the Government Property Agency. The site will host GBE’s main corporate functions, supply chain activities and major development work, including its ambitions in deep-water offshore wind.
GBE said it is currently operating from the AB1 building and expects to relocate to the new headquarters later in 2026 as recruitment continues.
Chief executive Dan McGrail said: “Aberdeen is the perfect location for Britain’s publicly owned energy company.
“It is a world-leading energy hub and has been crucial to our energy security for decades and I am delighted Marischal Square will be the location of our permanent headquarters.”
He added: “Thousands of engineers, innovators, and technicians call Aberdeen home. Great British Energy will draw on the abundant local talent to provide investment and support for projects across the country.”
Energy Minister Michael Shanks said the decision places Scotland’s expertise at the heart of the government’s clean energy drive.
“With Great British Energy’s new permanent headquarters confirmed in Aberdeen, Scotland’s world-class energy expertise and talent will be central to unlocking investment in clean energy and creating jobs, both in the city and across the whole of the UK,” he said.
Mark Bourgeois, chief executive of the Government Property Agency, added that the Marischal Square offices will provide a modern, collaborative workplace to support the company’s workforce.
