Watch again as Sir Keir Starmer delivered a speech as a new Great British Energy partnership was launched on Thursday (25 July).
The prime minister and energy secretary Ed Miliband have announced the first major partnership between Great British Energy and The Crown Estate to unleash billions of investment in clean power.
