To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps his Department is taking to help GPs decarbonise their physical estates.
Miatta Fahnbulleh
Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)
The Government is supporting the decarbonisation of General Practitioners through the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme (PSDS) and Boiler Upgrade Grant (BUS).
The PSDS supports the aim of reducing emissions from public sector buildings by 75% by 2037, compared to a 2017 baseline. The Public Sector Low Carbon Skills Fund provides grants for public sector bodies to put in place a heat decarbonisation plan, providing them with information they need to develop future applications to the PSDS.
If eligible, the BUS offers grants of £7500 towards the cost of purchasing and installing heat pumps, and £5000 towards a biomass boiler, for properties looking to replace their existing fossil fuel heating.
