From April this year, an estimated 70,000 companies in the UK will be legally required to register under the Enviroment Agency’s CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme (CRC).
Put simply, CRC is a cap-and-trade scheme which offers financial incentives in return for improved energy efficiency.
All the UK’s 70,000 or so organisations with half-hourly electricity meters will be obliged to register and, of them, an estimated 5,000 large public and private sector organisations whose annual consumption is 6,000MWh or more will be legally bound to participate fully or face financial and other penalties.
The Auditel CRC Brochure outlines the actions that all half-hourly electricity users, irrespective of usage, are required to take;
