UK government announces energy bill relief scheme for businesses
The UK government has announced a six-month energy bill relief scheme for businesses, charities, and public sector organisations, including schools, to help them get through the winter. The scheme will cap the wholesale price paid by non-domestic customers, which include schools, hospitals, and charities, at less than half the anticipated winter levels. The cap will apply to energy usage from 1 October 2022 to 31 March 2023, and will be equivalent to the Energy Price Guarantee put in place for households.
