Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether Great British Energy will offer finance and guidance to help small businesses install on-site renewable generation and battery storage as part of the Local Power Plan.

Backed by up to £1 billion, Great British Energy (GBE) aims to support at least 1,000 local and community energy projects by 2030.

GBE will do this through funding, and support including awareness raising, project origination and project development support and standardised documents and templates.

GBE will also provide dedicated capacity and capability support to help local government and wider public sector deliver local clean energy projects.
