Energy Bill Discount Scheme (EBDS)
The UK Government have announced the EBDS from 1st April 2023
The EBRS scheme was designed as a temporary six-month measure to protect businesses during this energy crisis.
With this scheme ending on the 31 March 2023, the UK government have announced the EBDS scheme in a bid to support businesses over the following 12 months.
The EBDS will run from 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024.
Customers do not need to take any action or apply for this scheme. Electric Ireland will automatically apply reductions to the bills of all eligible business customers.
If you are however an Energy & Trade Intensive Industry (ETII) customer, you may be eligible to apply for a higher level of support.
Please note that we will not be in the position to apply EBDS discounts to customer bills until after the EBDS scheme is signed into law by Parliament. EBDS discounts will be backdated to the scheme start date of 1st April 2023 for all eligible customers.
