Heating: Hotels
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what support is available for hotels in West Dorset constituency to transition to more energy-efficient (a) heating and (b) cooling systems.
Answered by Michael Shanks
The Government is working with local government, businesses, and the private sector to develop options to ensure our commercial buildings are thermally efficient, clean and affordable to run with a clear, practical path to meet Net Zero. We are supporting a pilot for hospitality businesses with Zero Carbon Services to help hospitality SMEs reduce carbon and energy bills. And the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers businesses grants of £7500 towards the cost of purchasing and installing heat pumps, and £5000 towards a biomass boiler, to replace their existing fossil fuel systems.
