CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme – Confused?Kerry Hamilton – March 2011

Government Spending Review• The CRC Energy Efficiency scheme will be simplified to reduce the burden on businesses, with the first allowance sales for 2011-12 emissions now taking place in 2012 rather than 2011. Revenues from allowance sales totalling £1 billion a year by 2014-15 will be used to support the public finances, including spending on the environment, rather than recycled to participants. Further decisions on allowance sales are a matter for the Budget process

What We Know Government launched a consultation to amend the scheme legislation in December 2010DECC have since issued discussion documents in January covering a wide range of options for simplification of the scheme. The closing date for comments is the 11 March 2011Annual and Footprint reporting will still go ahead as planned. You will be required to submit an annual report and footprint report before the 29th July 2011. The Performance League Table will be retained as the main reputational driver within the scheme, with the metric weightings and publication dates as envisaged in the current legislation (including the October 2011 table)

Metric Investment Have we wasted time and money on early action metrics?No!• AMR enables you to budget accurately for cost and track energy reduction projects and consumption efficiently.• The Carbon Trust Standard or equivalent encourages stakeholder engagement and ensures good Energy Management processes are in place.
