Business Premises: Energy

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what support his Department is providing to businesses to improve the energy efficiency of commercial premises.

Answer

The Government is providing funding for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, increasing each year to 2029/30. Currently, the grant available for air source heat pumps and ground source heat pumps is £7500 and for air-to-air heat pumps is £2500. A one-year increase to £9000 for properties heated by oil or LPG was announced on 21 April.

Specific funding for owners of commercial premises may be available through local schemes. Businesses can search for local grant and advice schemes on the finance and support for businesses page on gov.uk.

The UK Business Climate Hub also provides support to non-intensive industries.
