The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy want to hear from you! Complete their survey on the Energy Bill Relief Scheme

The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy are seeking the views of organisations on the Energy Bill Relief Scheme as part of the scheme’s three-month review.

The survey will be used by the government to help make decisions on the scheme in March when it is due for renewal.

The department is keen to hear from VCFSE organisations about their experiences with the scheme, so that their views are taken into consideration.

The survey will be open for responses until 11:55pm, Sunday 30th October
