Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what plans he has to provide additional support for businesses making long terms decisions in the context of the planned end of the Energy Bill Relief Scheme on 31 March 2023.

The Government is committed to carrying out a review of the operation of the Energy Bill Relief Scheme in order to inform decisions on future support after March 2023.

The review will consider how effective the scheme has been in giving support to at risk non-domestic customers and which groups of non-domestic customers (by sector, size or geography) remain particularly at risk due to energy price rises, taking into account the latest price position and other cost pressures. The Government will publish the result of the review in January 2023.
