The Energy Bills Discount Scheme Pass-through Requirement (Heat Suppliers) Regulations 2023

These Regulations make provision for the pass-through requirement in relation to the Energy Bills Discount Scheme (EBDS) in England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The pass-through requirement is imposed on a person who supplies and charges for the supply of heating or hot water to an end user through a heat network using energy in respect of which the person has been provided a scheme benefit (“intermediary”). It requires the intermediary to pass on the benefits of the EBDS to its end users. The Regulations also deal with adjustments to pass-through amounts which may be needed if a supply redetermination event occurs under the EBDS Regulations or the NI EBDS Regulations.
