Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether her Department plans to provide funding to help support the electrification of industry.

Electrification of industry is key to decarbonisation. The Government already provides grants for fuel switching through the Industrial Energy Transformation Fund and Industrial Fuel Switching Competition. This year, the Government will publish a Call for Evidence on enabling industrial electrification, looking at the specific barriers and how these may be overcome.
