Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what steps the Government plans to take to support small businesses to contribute to the generation of green energy.

The Feed-in Tariff remains open and provides an incentive for small businesses to invest in generating renewable electricity.

The Non-Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) provides financial incentives to increase the uptake of renewable and low carbon heat by businesses, the public sector and non-profit organisations in England, Wales and Scotland. It is open to applications to support 7 different technologies. The 7 supported technologies are:

• Commercial biomass (small, medium & large)
• Solid biomass Combined Heat & Power (CHP) systems
• Heat pumps (water-source, ground-source and air-source)
• Deep geothermal
• Solar collectors
• Biomethane injection
• Biogas combustion (small, medium & large)
