The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ)[1] is a ministerial department of the Government of the United Kingdom. It was established on 7 February 2023 by a cabinet reshuffle under the Rishi Sunak premiership. The new department took on the energy policy responsibilities of the former Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy (BEIS).[2]
The department's first Secretary of State was Grant Shapps; he was previously the final Secretary of State at BEIS. The current secretary is Claire Coutinho.
The department is scrutinised by the Energy Security and Net Zero Select Committee.[3]
