To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps his Department is taking to support businesses to transition to clean energy sources in (a) Ribble Valley and (b) Lancashire.
Answered by Michael Shanks - Minister of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)
The government offers various support for business to transition to clean energy source, including the Boiler Upgrade Scheme for low carbon heating.
We also know that it is important that businesses have access to reliable information and advice to help them take action to reduce their emissions. We support the UK Business Climate Hub which provides advice to support business, particularly SMEs, to act. It is run by the Broadway Initiative, in partnership with government and a coalition of business organisations.
