Chris Stark CBE at Innovation Zero World

Climate and energy expert and former chief executive of the Climate Change Committee, Chris Stark CBE, was appointed by Secretary of State Ed Miliband in July 2024 to lead the control centre tasked with delivering clean power by 2030.

Under Chris Stark’s leadership, a top team of energy experts is breaking down barriers and accelerating progress on energy projects.

This new Mission Control will be the first of its kind in government, with a relentless focus on accelerating the transition away from volatile fossil fuel markets to clean, homegrown power, boosting Britain’s energy independence, and cutting bills for the British people.

"This new Mission Control centre, benefitting from the expertise and experience of Chris Stark’s leadership – and bringing together the brightest and best in the national interest – will have a laser-like focus on delivering our mission of clean power by 2030. " - Ed Miliband

"By taking action now, we can put the UK at the forefront of the global race to net zero – driving down our carbon emissions but also cutting bills for households." - Chris Stark
