Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what plans he has to make new green energy grants available to small and medium-sized enterprises.

The Government recently published the Powering Up Britain plans that detail how we are encouraging businesses to reduce their energy demand. The Government plans to launch a digital energy advice service for small businesses to provide impartial, trusted advice on improving non-domestic energy efficiency. The Government will also be piloting a new audit and grant scheme this year.

Existing initiatives include exemptions on business rates for green technology, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme providing small businesses grants, and offering industry £500m for energy efficiency and low carbon technologies.
