Solar Power: Business
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, how many businesses in the UK have Government funded solar panels.
Answered by Michael Shanks
Solar power is at the heart of our mission to make Britain a clean energy superpower. The funding of solar panels is typically levied on billpayers rather than through direct taxation. Mechanisms have included the Feed-in tariff, Renewables Obligation and annual Contracts for Difference Allocation Rounds. Given the complex financial environment we are unable to provide an estimate as to how many businesses benefit from Government funding.
