Energy: Business
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he will make an estimate of the potential number of firms in the Buckingham and Bletchley constituency that may request support to improve their energy management practices.
Answered by Chris McDonald
In order to keep the level of reporting on businesses to a minimum, DESNZ does not collect information detailing the uptake of energy management improvements by businesses.
However, Buckinghamshire Business First is a local organisation that works closely with Buckinghamshire Council and has so far provided support to 3,600 businesses in the local area to date to help businesses reach net zero targets.
Small businesses can search for other local grant and advice schemes on the finance and support for businesses page on gov.uk.
