Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps his Department is taking to support local businesses in (a) Slough constituency and (b) Berkshire to access (i) funding and (ii) incentives for local net-zero projects.

Businesses have a vital role to play in the transition to net zero, from decarbonising their own operations, to working across their sectors and supply chains.

Small and medium-sized businesses can visit the UK Business Climate Hub, which is run in partnership with government, for advice and sources of finance or support on reducing emissions.

Climate Change Agreements provide tax discounts for businesses reducing their emissions, and the Industrial Energy Transformation Fund supports industrial sites with high energy use to transition.
