Details

The UK Emissions Trading Scheme (UK ETS) and Carbon Price Support (CPS) mechanism are designed to reduce emissions.

The government recognises that the costs of these schemes have a particular impact on some Energy Intensive Industries (EIIs). You may be able to apply for compensation for the indirect costs of the UK ETS and CPS.

How to apply for compensation

  1. Read the guidance document. This includes information on who can apply, how to apply, the data required and the formula used to calculate compensation.

  2. Complete an application form, declaration form and the compensation calculation spreadsheets.

  3. Send your completed documents to energyintensiveindustries@beis.gov.uk.

After you have applied

Your application will be assessed by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). You will receive a letter telling you if your application has been approved.

If your application is approved, you will be compensated from the start of the month when your application is received.

Compensation claims cannot be backdated.
