Keeping you up-to-date
With the introduction of the Energy Bill Relief Scheme in September 2022, businesses have had to quickly get to grips with the basics of the scheme to understand what support is available for their energy bills, how to access it and plan accordingly.
Teams across EDF have mobilised quickly and efficiently to make sure that information is made available for our business customers.
The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) continues to provide useful updates on the scheme and it's roll out. To keep up-to-date with the scheme, and how the EDF Business Solutions team plans to manage this for business customers, please take a look at the information below.
Support for SME Businesses
