Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask His Majesty's Government when they will announce a new funding round for the Energy Catalyst programme.

DSIT’s departmental-level ODA allocation was confirmed by the Chancellor in June’s Spring Statement. The full detail of DSIT's spending plans from 2026 April are still being considered. We are unable to confirm whether a new funding round will be announced for the Energy Catalyst Programme. We expect to be in a position to provide further information on what activities DSIT’s ODA will support later on this year.
