What happened
Chris Stark announced he will step down from his role as the government’s “head of clean power” at the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. He is expected to leave the department in January. Stark was originally tasked with leading a centre to accelerate the transition to clean, homegrown power to boost energy independence and cut bills.
Why it matters
Stark’s tenure involved collaborating with Ofgem on energy goals. During his time, his team secured enough new clean power to meet the needs of over 20 million homes and delivered record-breaking renewables auctions. His departure marks a change in leadership for the clean power mission at the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero.
