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 is taking to promote the British renewable energy industry.

We are proud of our track record on investment. Nearly £52 billion has been invested since 2010.

In the Budget we announced £730m of annual support, for 15 year contracts, for less established renewable electricity projects, including offshore wind; and an increase in the renewable heat incentive to £1.15bn.
