Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to support businesses and organisations that are struggling to implement their decarbonisation plans.

The Government has brought together senior business and finance leaders on the Net Zero Council. The Council addresses the appetite from the business and finance communities to create a partnership with UK government to deliver net zero and capture the benefits of this transition in the UK. The Government has relaunched the UK Business Climate Hub, which provides free, detailed advice on how SMEs can reduce their emissions and signposts funding opportunities. The £500m Industrial Energy Transformation Fund supports energy intensive industries to decarbonise and the Department is piloting a Business Energy Advice Service to support SMEs.
