Review of the schemes to compensate energy intensive industries for indirect emission costs in electricity prices

This consultation seeks views and evidence on:

• the risk of carbon leakage due to the indirect emission cost from the UK ETS and CPS
• which sectors are most at risk
• the design of the potential scheme if there continues to be a rationale for compensation

We’re seeking views from a wide range of audiences, including:

• energy intensive industries (whether currently benefitting or not benefitting from the compensation schemes)
• other electricity consumers
• trade bodies
• consumer associations
• the devolved administrations
• any other interested parties

Please do not send responses by post to the department at the moment as we may not be able to access them.
