The Government Energy Bill Relief Scheme, announced this morning, will see commercial premises pay less than half the proposed increase from energy companies.

The government has set a Supported Wholesale Price – expected to be £211 per MWh for electricity and £75 per MWh for gas, which it said was “less than half the wholesale prices anticipated this winter” and equivalent to the wholesale element of the Energy Price Guarantee for households.
