    What is the Energy Intensive Industries Exemption Scheme?

    Your energy bill is made of commodity and non-commodity costs and three of the non-commodity costs – Contracts for Difference (CfD), Renewables Obligations (RO) & Feed-In Tariffs (FiT) are three of these non-commodity costs. These taxes are designed to support the delivery of new renewables. CfD, RO & FiT can make up as much as 20% of your electricity bill so it is a substantial cost. The problem is that these extra costs have a disproportionate effect on Energy Intensive Industries (EII) and can leave them uncompetitive in the world market. The EII exemption scheme is designed to correct this effect.

    Who is eligible for the EII Exemption?

    The guidance is extremely specific to your business, but as a general guide you must:

    1- Conduct one of the activities deemed eligible.

    2- Your electricity costs must be over 20% of GVA.

    3- You have at least two quarters of financial data

          Energy-intensive industries pay more because of their higher consumption thus leading to a significant price differential between the UK and countries which have lower or zero pricing for carbon. The EII compensation scheme is designed to help reduce this differential.
