ANOTHER REASON TO APPLY NOW FOR A CCA

摘要

Starting in 2010, another business focussed energy scheme will be launched by the Government. The Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) will be mandatory for all companies with a total half-hourly metered electricity consumption over 6,OOOMWh i.e. an electricity bill over £500,000. In brief, the CRC will require companies to purchase up front carbon allowances to cover their anticipated electricity consumption. This will be done though an online auction. Based on actual performance, bonuses or penalties will be given depending on the position in a league table that will be published on the web. BUT, the important thing is that companies with over 25% of their energy consumption within a CCA could well be exempt from the CRC in whole or in part.
