UKHospitality publishes energy advice for all businesses

UKHospitality has published its energy advice, guidance and costs calculator for all businesses to help operators navigate the Energy Bill Relief Scheme.

The guidance was previously available to members only, but is now available to download here upon completion of a form.

UKHospitality has also provided access to a Q&A and an energy calculator to help businesses estimate future energy costs.

Kate Nicholls, chief executive of UKHospitality, said: "As we head into winter, many businesses will be extremely concerned about what is in store with energy prices eye-wateringly high. We know that our sector is feeling the pinch more than most and that is why we've taken the decision to make our expert guidance available to all.

"The government's Energy Bill Relief Scheme is in place to reduce the unit price businesses pay for their energy but navigating these schemes can be a challenging process, so we want to offer as much help as possible.

"This is a perilous situation for the sector and UKHospitality will continue to ensure the government is fully aware of the existential threat that inflation and energy bills combine to create."

Hospitality businesses are awaiting further guidance on energy bills as it was revealed last week that the chancellor is looking into a review of long-term energy support for businesses and households.
