<p>The costs of the Carbon Price Floor on business are largely indirect, passed through
in bills by their electricity supplier. However, the Department for Energy and Climate
Change’s Prices and Bills report estimates that in 2014 the Carbon Price Floor increased
the price per MWh of electricity for the average uncompensated energy intensive business
by £4. The Government pays compensation to the most electricity intensive industries
which reduces the price impact for the average compensated energy intensive business
in 2014 to £2 per MWh.</p><p>My Department keeps the risk of carbon leakage under
regular review.</p>
