Great British Energy: Public Ownership with Purpose | Dan McGrail

Our host, Stuart Broadley, is joined by Dan McGrail, CEO of Great British Energy, for a wide-ranging conversation on the UK's energy future, industrial strategy and the role of public investment. Drawing on his experience across the wind industry, Dan discusses the vision behind Great British Energy and how it can support energy security, strengthen UK supply chains and create new economic opportunities.

The discussion explores offshore wind, emerging technologies, UK content and the importance of attracting investment while developing a stronger domestic energy industry. Dan also reflects on his experience at Siemens, the lessons learned from building manufacturing capability in the UK, and the challenges of creating a competitive and resilient supply chain.

At the heart of the conversation is the opportunity presented by the energy transition: to not only decarbonise the UK's energy system, but also drive reindustrialisation, create skilled jobs and build long-term industrial capability across the country.
