The Energy Bills Discount Scheme runs for 12 months from 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024.

This scheme replaces the Energy Bill Relief Scheme which supported businesses and organisations between 1 October 2022 and 31 March 2023. The scheme is made up of 3 different parts:

  1. The baseline discount will provide some support with energy bills for eligible non-domestic customers in Great Britain and Northern Ireland – this support will be applied automatically.
  2. The Energy and Trade Intensive Industries (ETII) discount will provide a higher level of support to businesses and organisations in eligible sectors – you will need to register to get this support.
  3. The Heat Network discount will provide a higher level of support to heat networks with domestic end consumers – you need to register to get this support.

Most eligible non-domestic customers receiving the baseline discount should expect to see it in their May bill.
