Great British Energy BillContribution
The framework document will outline, as specified in the Act, that Great British Energy would continue to keep under review the impact of its activities on the achievement of sustainable development in the United Kingdom. It will state that sustainable development means having regard to the impact of Great British Energy’s activities on the environment, society and the economy. This includes, where relevant, consideration of Great British Energy’s contribution to achieving targets set by, or under, Part 1 of the Climate Change Act 2008 and Sections 1 to 3 of the Environment Act 2021, and any equivalent legislation in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. It also includes, where relevant, considerations of climate change adaptation. The framework document will also specify that Great British Energy will include in its annual report a report of its activities in relation to sustainable development.
