✓ We can assess where opportunities exist, calculate the potential benefit and support you through the application, certification and implementation process
British Industrial Competitiveness
Scheme (BICS)
A new Government scheme designed to reduce electricity costs for eligible UK manufacturers through relief from Renewables Obligation, Feed-in Tariff and Capacity Market costs.
Climate Change Levy
exemptions and reliefs
Businesses undertaking certain processes or using energy for qualifying purposes may be entitled to reduce or eliminate the Climate Change Levy payable on that energy.
Energy Intensive Industries
(EII) Scheme
Eligible energy-intensive manufacturers can secure exemptions from major electricity policy costs, including Contracts for Difference, Renewables Obligation and Feed-in Tariff costs.
Eligibility is not always obvious. It can depend on your manufacturing activities, the products you make, your electricity consumption or precisely how energy is used within a particular process.
This means opportunities can be overlooked even by businesses that have reviewed their energy purchasing arrangements carefully.
