Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he has made an assessment of the potential merits of encouraging businesses to generate renewable energy and provide surplus to the energy grid.

The Government is considering onsite generation in the manufacturing sector as part of the Net Zero Review and will publish its response in due course. Eligible businesses are already able to receive payment for exported renewable electricity through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG).
