Nuclear Levy

Exempt charities from nuclear levy on energy bills, government urged. Some

charities could see their bills rise up to £2,500 a year. The government
has been urged to provide an exemption for charities from a new levy that
could cost some voluntary sector organisations up to £2,500 a year. The
nuclear regulated asset levy, which will be introduced in November, was
developed by the previous government to provide a return to investors in
Sizewell C, a new nuclear power station that is being built in Suffolk over
the next decade. Although industries that use the most electricity have
been exempted from the levy by the government, the energy regulator Ofgem
said this week that local charities, including youth clubs and community
centres, will have to pay the full amount. The Social Investment Business
estimates that the average charity with a building could see their bills
rise by up to £240 annually, but added that some will face an increase of
more than £2,500 per year as a result of the levy.
