What you’ll get
An instant, indicative result and estimated saving, based on your registered SIC codes and the products HMRC records show you export. It is not an application or a final determination — it tells you whether it is worth taking further.
What you’ll need
Your company name or number, and an estimate of your annual electricity usage in kWh, MWh or GWh — or, if you don’t know your usage, your annual electricity bill in £.
