carbon reduction commitment overview
The Carbon Reduction Commitment is the first piece of compulsory UK legislation
that will address energy use amongst medium to large non-energy intensive businesses.
All organisations with an annual electricity consumption of over 6,000 megawatt
hours in 2008 (approx. £500k) are likely to be required to register as
'full participants' in the Carbon Reduction Commitment from 2010.
The Government will collect money from full participants at the beginning of
every compliance year which will be distributed back amongst these organisations
after the end of that year based on the energy efficiency measures undertaken.
Full participants will need to consider the following key attributes under the
Carbon Reduction Commitment:
- legal compliance
- participants will be required
to comply directly and are held responsible for all shortcomings
- data collection and submissions
- data will need to be collected
relating to all energy and fuel use
- cash flow
- The
Carbon Reduction Commitment has significant cash flow implications for all
full participants. To get an idea of how much you may need to budget for
the CRC, please use our CRC cost estimator
