Energy Supply: Batteries
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government whether funding for Mobile Power (MOPO), funded through the Transforming Energy Access programme, will be provided in the form of loans rather than grants; and, if so, what the terms of the loans will be.
- Answer
-
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) uses a combination of grants and other instruments, including loans, as most appropriate to deliver the intended outcomes and provide the best value for money. No existing FCDO International Climate Finance programmes have been switched from grants to loans linked with the recent announcement of £2 bus fares.
