PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Business: Stockport (26 January 2023)

The Energy Bill Relief Scheme (EBRS) provides a discount on the wholesale element of gas and electricity bills to ensure that all eligible businesses in Stockport, that receive their energy from licensed suppliers, are protected from excessively high energy costs over the winter period. The EBRS discount is applied directly to the energy bills of eligible businesses by their energy providers. Therefore the Government does not have a breakdown of support received by location. The new Energy Bill Discount Scheme (EBDS) will run from April until March 2024 and provide a discount to eligible businesses.
