A new Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, has been created in Rishi Sunak’s reshuffle. The separation of the old BEIS into parts recognises the need to form secure energy supplies from domestic nuclear and renewable sources as well as focus on net-zero. The new department will be headed by Grant Shapps.

Under Michelle Donelan, a dedicated Department for Science, Innovation and Technology will also be created to drive innovation, and Kemi Badenoch will lead the Department for Business and Trade that will support growth.
