Unlock 90% Savings on Energy Network Charges with the New ‘Supercharger’ Boost – Here’s How Your Business Benefits
For many UK manufacturers and engineering firms, electricity isn’t just another overhead, it’s essential to keeping production moving. As of 1 April 2026, the government has introduced a major uplift to the British Industry Supercharger, including a significant enhancement to the Network Charging Compensation (NCC) scheme. This change could considerably reduce costs for eligible businesses.
What’s Changed – and What It Means for Your Bottom Line
Eligible Energy-Intensive Industries (EII) can now receive 90% compensation on electricity network charges (previously 60%). This includes costs such as TNUoS, DUoS, and BSUoS fees.
What this means for you:
- Save £7-£10 per megawatt-hour (MWh), depending on usage
- Boost competitiveness for energy-heavy operations
- Reduce admin through an expanded two-month claim window
For high-consumption sites, these savings quickly add up to significant annual reductions.
Important: This Isn’t an Automatic Discount
Although the 90% relief is mandated, it is not automatically applied by suppliers. To benefit, businesses must:
- Hold a valid EII certificate
- Submit accurate, quarterly claims
- Stay within strict application windows
Many companies unintentionally miss out, often by thousands, because:
- They aren’t aware their Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code qualifies
- They overlook the claim deadlines
- The admin process feels too time‑consuming or complex
