To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps his Department is taking to increase uptake of the Boiler Upgrade Scheme among (a) GP practices and (b) other small non-domestic buildings.
Miatta Fahnbulleh
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme continues to provide grants of up to £7,500 for small non-domestic property owners, with the threshold for single heat pump installations set at 45kWh. The grants are in addition to the 0% rate of VAT on the installation of heat pumps and biomass boilers, currently up until March 2027.
To support uptake, the Government is performing communications targeted at non-domestic consumers to increase awareness and knowledge of the scheme and are continuing to engage with stakeholders to understand more about how to reduce barriers to heat pump deployment in these buildings. The approach to decarbonising non-domestic buildings more broadly will be set out in October this year.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
