Schemes and reliefs
- BICS: the British Industrial Competitiveness Scheme exempts eligible manufacturers from some electricity policy costs. See our BICS guide.
- Climate Change Levy relief: including Climate Change Agreements and exemptions for eligible uses.
- Other reliefs as they are introduced, checked against your sites.
Reporting and compliance
- ESOS: the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme, mandatory for large undertakings every four years.
- SECR: Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting in annual accounts.
- Net zero planning and carbon reduction plans, increasingly required in tenders.
How it works
We screen eligibility, check your contracts pass reliefs through, and confirm they appear on your bills. For reporting obligations such as ESOS and SECR, we take you through what is required and when.
