The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero announced the Powering Up Britain Strategy last week, which has been well received by the UK’s SMEs.

In response to the announcement, Martin McTague, National Chair of the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB), said, “Today’s Powering Up Britain announcement is an important step towards the UK’s transition to net zero and greater energy security.

“Small firms have long waited for support to become more energy efficient, and have asked for more than just words and guidance, but resources to be put in place to help.

“We are pleased to see Energy Secretary Grant Shapps heed our calls, and address the needs of small business in his plan.

Martin added, “We are keen to help the Energy and Business and Trade Departments’ outreach to the community to make sure the pilot is a success, and to get it up and running as soon as possible – certainly in time before energy use rises next winter.

“We then hope to see it scaled up to a full national scheme that can help every small business wanting to invest in improvements to their business that will cut energy costs and support the move to Net Zero.

“More than six in ten small firms have already invested in energy efficiency, but there is a clear desire to go further and do more.

“Powering up Britain can only work by powering small firms, whose needs are distinct from larger corporates or households. We applaud the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero for trialling small business-focused energy efficiency policies.”
