The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) are inviting businesses and charities to complete a survey on their energy use, the impacts of cost increases and removing the energy support package, and any measures to reduce energy costs.

The data drawn from this survey will be provided directly to the government to help inform the findings of the Review, which will enable them to identify those vulnerable sectors most in need of further support beyond 31st March 2023 when the current support ends.

SOLT & UK Theatre encourage all organisations to complete the survey to the best of their ability to ensure the impacts of rising energy costs on the theatre sector is accurately recorded.
