Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what steps she is taking to incentivise the use of renewable energy in businesses and homes.

The Feed-in Tariff scheme has been hugely successful in encouraging the generation of low carbon energy for homes and businesses and we will continue to incentivise this growing sector.

On heat, the Renewable Heat Incentive encourages the installation of renewable heating in place of fossil fuels in homes and non-domestic buildings. This includes air-source heat pumps; deep geothermal; energy from waste; and a wide range of other technologies.
