The Department has not published an estimate of the value of “exemptions from green levies” provided to energy‑intensive industries in 2025–26.
However, the published impact assessment for the British Industry Supercharger—which includes reliefs from certain renewable policy costs, such as the Renewables Obligation, Contracts for Difference and Feed-in Tariffs—indicates that, when taken together with the other Supercharger measures, eligible energy-intensive industries could receive overall electricity bill reductions of around £65 to £87 per MWh.
