Ensuring that our customer base is provided with the most accurate, useful, and up-to-date information. Subject to qualifying criteria, the continuation of reduction offerings was provided during Q2-23 for 12-months, which started as of the 1st of April 2023. In further support of the public sector, the scheme is available for anyone on a non-domestic contract, such as charities, education, NHS, and emergency services.

The EBDS Scheme forms 3 parts:

For customers in Great Britain and Northern-Ireland, a baseline discount was automatically applied for anyone on a non-domestic contract.
For a higher level of support, the Energy and Trade Intensive Industries (ETII) discount applied to businesses and organisations in various eligible sectors – For additional information, please follow the link provided: Apply for the Energy Bills Discount Scheme support for Energy and Trade Intensive Industries (ETIIs) - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
Heat networks with domestic end consumers, the heat network discount was provided for additional high-level support. Please follow the steps within the attached link: Apply for the Energy Bills Discount Scheme heat network support - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

Applications for higher level of support after the 25th of April 2023, should ETII’s have become eligible after the 26th of April 2023. A 90-day notice term also applies for applications against new organisations and newly eligible organisations.

Applications for higher level of support on the 26th of April 2023 for Heat Networks should be applied for as soon as possible. After the 26th of April, for any Heat Network becoming eligible, you had 90 days to apply to when you first become eligible.
