Green energy boss calls for North Sea oil and gas to be subsidised
The Guardian
|September 12, 2025
One of Britain's leading green industrialists has called on the government to offer subsidies to North Sea oil companies to help support a "just transition" to renewables that protects energy industry workers.
Dale Vince, a Labour donor, urged ministers to "optimise" the remaining resources of the declining oil basin as Britain reduces its reliance on fossil fuels. The party has banned new North Sea oil and gas projects.
The founder of Ecotricity spoke out a week after his fellow green entrepreneur Greg Jackson, the founder of Octopus Energy and a Cabinet Office adviser, backed calls to restart North Sea drilling.
