The Department has worked with relevant trade associations and energy suppliers to promote awareness amongst energy trade and intensive industries (ETIIs), held engagement sessions to ensure that businesses understand their eligibility and the application process, and published guidance specific to ETIIs on GOV.UK.

The Government has a communications strategy for the Energy Bills Discount Scheme targeted at ETIIs and are working to ensure that as many customers as possible receive the support they are entitled to.
