Energy-Intensive Industries (EII)
The Energy-Intensive Industries scheme was introduced to mitigate the impact of renewables policies. The costs energy suppliers incur to improve their energy mix through the Renewables Obligation (RO) and Feed-In Tariffs are passed on to the end-users, which represents a competitive disadvantage for Energy Intensive Industries. Via the EII scheme, eligible businesses can apply for compensation for 15-30% of the costs of their total energy bills.
