<p>The BEIS Local Energy Programme is supporting Local Authorities and Local Enterprise
Partnerships to take advantage of the opportunities presented by the clean energy
economy. BEIS has allocated £500k directly to Greater Manchester Combined Authority
since 2017, through devolution, to develop innovative business models (for decarbonisation)
and public sector leadership (for climate change and zero carbon targets) in support
of their 2038 target, which are then shared with other Local Authorities.</p><p> </p><p>As
we recover from COVID-19, the Government intends to deliver a UK economy which is
stronger, cleaner, more sustainable and resilient. My Rt. Hon. Friend Mr Chancellor
of the Exchequer’s Summer Statement included investments which will both reduce greenhouse
gas emissions and support the economic recovery, reflecting the Government’s commitment
to build back greener, deliver a green recovery and reach our net zero ambition.</p>
