Energy cost services 

 

ABGi helps businesses identify, assess and secure the energy cost reliefs available to them.

Energy costs remain a significant challenge for UK businesses, particularly manufacturers and energy-intensive industries. But the price you pay for energy is only part of the picture. Taxes, levies and Government policy costs can add substantially to electricity and gas bills.

Reduce energy costs. Strengthen your competitiveness.

 

A range of exemptions, reliefs and compensation schemes are available to reduce these costs, but understanding which apply to your business, and navigating the eligibility and application requirements, can be complex.

 

✓  Our specialists combine technical analysis with a practical understanding of manufacturing processes, energy use and Government support schemes.

 

✓  We can assess where opportunities exist, calculate the potential benefit and support you through the application, certification and implementation process

 

Our energy cost relief services

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.

 

Could your business be paying more than it needs to?

 

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.

 

ABGi can undertake an initial review across the available schemes to identify where your business may qualify and where a more detailed assessment is worthwhile.

 

ACT NOW!

 

The current application window for BICS is 1 October to 30 November 2026, with RO and FiT relief beginning in April 2027 and Capacity Market relief from October 2027.
