High energy use businesses urged to claim extra discount on energy bills
Energy-intensive businesses and heat network operators have less than three weeks to apply for UK Government support that could see their wholesale energy bills reduced by as much as a fifth.
All eligible businesses are urged to act now to benefit from the support available through the Energy Bills Discount Scheme. Companies have until 25 July 2023 to apply, with discounts applied to their bills until April next year.
