New ‘Energy Bills Discount Scheme’ for businesses announced

This week (9 January 2023), the government announced a new energy scheme for businesses, charities, and the public sector, ahead of the current scheme ending in March.

The scheme will mean that all eligible UK businesses and other non-domestic energy users will receive a discount on high energy bills until 31 March 2024.

A higher level of support will be provided to businesses in sectors identified as being the most energy and trade intensive – predominately manufacturing industries.
