NON-ENERGY COSTS

Non Energy Costs

What are non-energy costs?

Non-energy costs are a suite of charges that every UK business has to pay as part of their energy bill. They are made up of taxes, levies and fees that are automatically added to your bill. They are typically used for:

• Funding the UK's energy distribution networks.

• Incentivising businesses to reduce consumption.

• Investing in the development of new sustainable and low cost energy generation projects.

How much am I paying in non-energy costs?

Non-energy costs are not fixed rates but are charged as a proportion of your bill, linked to your consumption. Since 2010 these costs have more than doubled and now account for over 50% of the average UK business' annual energy spend. This trend is likely to continue.
