The Energy Bills Support Scheme and Energy Price Guarantee Pass-through Requirement (England and Wales and Scotland) Regulations 2022

These Regulations make provision for pass-through requirements in relation to the Energy Bills Support Scheme (EBSS) and the Energy Price Guarantee (EPG) in England and Wales and Scotland. Pass-through requirements are imposed on a “relevant intermediary” (defined in regulation 2) and establish that they must pass-through the benefits of the EBSS and EPG schemes to an “end user” to whom energy has been made available (defined in section 19(3) of the Energy Prices Act 2022 (c. 44)). These Regulations apply in respect of relevant intermediaries other than those providing certain types of hospitality accommodation (defined as “excluded persons” under these Regulations).
