Eligible companies will be able to apply for compensation in January 2016, once scheme guidance and application forms have been published. The second state aid case - to compensate competitors of eligible Energy Intensive Industries (EIIs) - is currently being considered by the Commission.</p><br /><p>The Government is expected to pay compensation for RO/FiT costs until the exemption is implemented - the aim is to achieve that from 2017-18.</p><br /><p>This is in addition to the £50 million of support the Government has already given to the steel industry to mitigate the impact of climate change policies.</p><br /><p>This relief from energy costs will save industry hundreds of millions of pounds and will give the UK Steel Industry greater certainty around energy costs for the life of the Parliament.</p> answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry question first answered 05/01/2016 16:54:22 answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry
