Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking to support the adoption of electrification across foundation industries.

The Government is committed to supporting electrification across industry by addressing key barriers and enabling investment. This is a crucial aspect of delivering clean power by 2030, decarbonising UK industry and securing its long- term competitiveness.

We are continuing to develop policies to bring down electricity costs relative to gas for the industrial sector and intend to consult on options to reduce costs and make low carbon heat the economically rational choice for a wider range of businesses. Stakeholders will have a voice in shaping future electrification policy.
