The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking to support the development of green technologies.

Answered by Kerry McCarthy

I refer the hon Member to the answer I gave to her on Question UIN 32430:

The Government is committed to supporting the growth and scaling-up of green technologies, including through the creation of GB Energy, as part of its Clean Energy Superpower Mission. A combined total of £1.3 billion has been committed through the 2021-25 Net Zero Innovation Portfolio (NZIP) to accelerate the commercialisation of green technologies supporting around 5,500 jobs and leveraging £750 million in private investment. The Government will set out its full approach to seizing the growth opportunities from clean energy industries in the forthcoming Industrial Strategy.
