About
Ed Miliband led Labour from 2010 to 2015 and returned to cabinet in 2024 as Energy Security and Net Zero Secretary, the job that matches his long-standing cause. He is the architect of Great British Energy, the publicly-owned clean-power company targeting a zero-carbon grid by 2030.
During the 2026 leadership transition he was reportedly considered — and then blocked — for the Treasury under Andy Burnham. Whether he keeps the energy brief matters directly for bills: the July 2026 levy reforms and Burnham's mooted “affordable energy guarantee” both run through his department.
