Summary
We're seeking views on the risk of carbon leakage due to the

and compensation price support (CPS) mechanism plus feedback on
sector eligibility and scheme design.
This consultation ran from
11am on 14 June 2021 to 11:45pm on 9 August 2021
Consultation description
This consultation seeks views and evidence on:
- the risk of carbon leakage due to the indirect emission cost
from the UK ETS and
CPS
- which sectors are most at risk
- the design of the potential scheme if there continues to be a
rationale for compensation
We’re seeking views from a wide range of audiences, including:
- energy intensive industries (whether currently benefitting or
