Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he will publish his Department’s assessments of (a) energy intensity and (b) trade intensity for all sectors on the Energy and Trade Intensive Industries scheme.

There are currently no plans to publish the assessments of energy and trade intensity of sectors. The assessment took place as part of the HMT review into the Energy Bill Relief Scheme and were based on ONS and BEIS data. All sectors that met the threshold of being above the 80th percentile for energy intensity, and 60th percentile for trade intensity, plus any sectors eligible for the existing energy compensation and exemption schemes, are eligible for the enhanced support under the Energy Bill Discount Scheme.
