The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what support is available to small and medium-sized businesses for the adoption of low-carbon technologies.

Answered by Michael Shanks

SMEs can access funding for low carbon technologies through schemes like the Boiler Upgrade Scheme.

We also encourage SMEs to visit the UK Business Climate Hub which provides advice to support SMEs to reduce costs and build resilience. It is run by the Broadway Initiative, in partnership with government and a coalition of business organisations.
