Ineos , the Anglo - Swiss chemical company , is lobbying the UK government to exempt the chemical sector completely from the climate policy cost element included their electricity bills . “You can expect to see a lot more coming through from us.” Documents revealed under Freedom of information rules from the Chemistry Industry Group , a government - industry group , suggest that Ineos is pushing the government to use Brexit as a pretext for full exemption . The government last week agreed to cut the electricity bills of major users by £ 100 m ( $ 125 m ) . This on top of previous concessions worth £ 250 m . Ineos also seeks to abolish the carbon floor price , a tax on companies generating electricity .
