Learn more about how a carbon price works and the benefits of addressing climate change by pricing carbon.
When it comes to climate change, business as usual is no longer an option. Studies estimate that the effects of climate change could cost the economy trillions of dollars before the end of the century. As global temperatures continue to increase, coastal communities will be at risk from sea level rise, wildfires will become more frequent, and extreme weather will be even more damaging.
But, there are steps we can take to slow the effects of climate change and mitigate its most damaging impacts. A carbon price, a market-based solution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions while promoting investment and innovation, is the most efficient, business friendly way to take action.
Home energy consumption has fallen, but UK households are still paying a great deal more for their energy. In our latest Infographic, we round up the key energy statistics of 2016 and highlight the trends.
Let’s tackle the myths about all the components contained within supplier’s public lighting invoices.
Many within the unmetered supplies world are unsure what elements are contained within supplier’s invoices; and who gets what of their respective charges?
So let’s break down every aspect of a council’s public lighting & highways invoice.
To transparently discuss every line, every charge, any hidden charges and where the various payments go?
Also examine how the power gets to a typical 70 watt SON lamp on a residential street. The journey from the power station via a 400kV grid to the single phase exit point for the lamp.
This journey includes aspects of the national grid company, the Grid Supply Point (GSP) and the Distribution Network Operator (DNO). All these routes attract charges and losses (loss factors) for which the customer will ultimately pay.
So the presentation and workshop will open every box – from load factor, to billing at meter and billing at grid supply point; with an explanation.
Also tackle the complex DNO’s DUoS HH charges with reference to black, yellow and green charging periods.
This should result in ILP members having a clear understanding of energy accounts, and being able to manage expected consumption.
Also to suggest how the latest technology, such as CMS, can be realised through half hourly dynamic equivalent pseudo metering.
This brings in the perennial question – what are the differences between half hourly and non-half hourly trading for unmetered supplies?
It is envisaged that there will be plenty of opportunity for audience interaction to ask detailed and probing questions – these will be discussed and answered!
The presentation will almost conclude with the details of the next financial impact that councils will be faced with – electrical market reform – and when that will happen?
To end with the latest Energy saving UMS techniques and initiatives and how these can be made into tangible benefits on your bills!

Myth busting - sifting energy facts from wishful thinkingGas Forum
In the furore about the rise of UK energy costs, several factors have been cited as contributing to escalating prices. David Cox, managing director of the Gas Forum, untangles the truth from the myths in the UK government’s argument for committing a minimum £38bn to subsidise energy generation over the next eight years
U.S. Congress is currently developing major energy legislation aimed a reducing greenhouse gas emissions though a Cap & Trade regime for the first time in history. In the summer of 2009, the House of Representatives passed the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009, also known as the Waxman-Markey Bill. Action now has move to the Senate. If enacted, this sweeping energy reform could significantly affect both the cost and sources of energy that fuel the U.S. economy as well as the international competitiveness of U.S. industry. This session will address some of the key issues currently being debated in the Senate concerning the design of a clean energy and climate bill, such as the potential role of low- and no-carbon technologies, the use of domestic and international offsets, and other cost containment measures. The potential economic impacts of climate change policy on the future of the U.S. economy will also be discussed.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

2. Overview
CCL was introduced in 2001 to encourage
business to find ways of reducing energy demand.
It does this by making energy more expensive by
placing a tax on energy used at volume.
The CCL also covers the supply of liquid and solid
fuels used for lighting, heating and power. Heating
oil and road fuels are exempt as they are liable to
other levies. Electricity generated from
renewables is also exempt.
As part of the CCL package, the government also
introduced climate change agreements (CCAs);
enhanced capital allowances (ECAs) which provide
support for investments in energy-saving
technologies; and funding for the Carbon Trust to
ensure British businesses remain competitive.
The introduction of CCL was accompanied by a
0.3% cut in employers’ national insurance
contributions (NICs). This was to ensure the
scheme did not increase overall taxation on the
non-domestic sector.
In 2001 the CCL added around 15% to the energy
bill of a typical UK business. But with much higher
costs for wholesale energy, networks and
renewables since then, the CCL now makes up a
smaller proportion of bills (around 5%).
3. Yes
If you use 12,000 kWh or more of
electricity each year
Your electricity or gas supply is used
solely for business or non-domestic
purposes
If you are a charity where you use
fuel for business rather than
charitable purposes
If you are not eligible for a CCL
abatement or exemption
No
If the fuel is used for households
and domestic premises
If the fuel is used for charitable
purposes only
If you are 5% VAT registered
If you are buying “CCL exempt”
supplies from renewable
sources, evidenced through
Levy Exemption Certificates
specified in your supply
contract
You have a Climate Change Agreement
(CCA)
Although the CCL is applied as a flat rate on consumption, there is a
complicated range of abatements and exemptions.
This list covers the main exemptions but is not complete. Please
check if you are unsure whether or not you may be eligible to claim
an exemption.
4. Each year the tax increases in-line with the retail
prices index (RPI) inflation. New rates are
announced as part of the government’s annual
Budget, as shown in the table below.
Electricity attracts a higher tax rate because
a considerable proportion of the energy
content of the fossil fuels used to
generate it is lost in combustion,
transmission and distribution.
Like VAT the levy is imposed at the time of supply,
so it will already be included in your energy bills.
As the CCL is also VAT chargeable it should appear
on your bill above the VAT line.
* Assuming RPI inflation rate 3%
** GB Gas
*** Northern Ireland Gas
5. The only ways for businesses to cut this cost are
to reduce consumption of taxable energy supplies
by increasing energy efficiency or by boosting the
amount of CCL-exempt electricity.
Many manufacturers can apply for a discount on
the CCL. To do this sites enter into a CCA with the
government and submit data every two years via
their industry trade association.
All non-domestics, regardless of size, industrial or
commercial sector or location, can apply for
Enchanced Capital Allowances (ECA’s) to support
investment in specified technologies. The
qualifying technologies have to meet defined
energy efficiency criteria.
6. The government has confirmed that the CCA
scheme is to run up until 2023, implying the CCL
will be around for at least that period.
The government has also announced that from
April next year some manufacturing industries will
be exempt from the CCL entirely.
From April this year the existing CCL exemption
for supplies of fuel to electricity generators will be
replaced with a carbon price support rate of CCL.
Although this will not have a direct implication the
cost of this will be passed down to consumers
through a higher wholesale energy cost.
But in 2010 the government set out plans to
reform the levy to provide more certainty to
businesses and to support the carbon price. Yet
these changes will only impact energy-intensive
businesses.
