The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking to (a) incentivise consumers and (b) support manufacturers to use green energy sources.

Answered by Michael Shanks

The Action Plan for the Clean Power 2030 Mission will set out the path to decarbonise our electricity and support an increasingly electrified economy.

The Government is incentivising adoption of low carbon appliances, including through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, our Warm Homes Plan, and working with industry and local authorities to develop new heat networks.

The Government is also supporting low carbon hydrogen production, which has a unique role in transitioning hard-to-abate sectors away from fossil fuels.
