The UK Carbon Reduction Commitment Scheme will target large organizations that spend over £500,000 per year on electricity and have electricity usage over 6,000 megawatt-hours. Participating organizations will be required to monitor their energy usage, purchase allowances to cover their emissions, and report their emissions data to the appropriate regulatory agency. The scheme is scheduled to begin in April 2010 and will require organizations to reduce their emissions over time.
