Constituency casework: help with energy bills for businesses, voluntary sector and public sector organisations
This briefing provides a guide to reliable sources of information to help answer common questions on support with energy bills for non-domestic customers, including businesses, public sector organisations and charities.
This briefing provides information on support with energy bills for non-domestic customers, including businesses, public sector organisations and charities. It covers help with rising energy prices, and support to install energy-saving measures and low carbon technologies.
Other sources that answer frequent questions are provided, as well as links to other Library briefings, which cover some of the schemes in more detail. Where complex issues are raised it may be more appropriate to refer constituents to specialist bodies and organisations or to a solicitor if legal advice is sought.
The guidance documents referred to in this briefing are current at the time of writing. However, information on these schemes is often updated, so it is advisable to check the relevant websites, particularly the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) for updates.
