UKs Carbon Reduction Commitment Energy Efficiency Scheme will mean
changes for businesses when Phase 2 begins the rules for
eligibility are different and the allowance pricing is set to
increase.
2. What is it? The CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme is a mandatory
government programme that was designed to help achieve the UKs
Carbon Reduction Commitment goals of cutting carbon emissions.
Carbon reduction goal: by 2020, to reduce carbon emissions in the
UK by a third from 1990 levels. 3. What is it? The CRC Energy

participates? 6. Who participates? Most large public and private
sector organisations must participate in the CRC scheme. 7. Who
participates? Most large public and private sector organisations
must participate in the CRC scheme.10% of UK carbon emissions are
produced by large public and private sector organisations. 8.
Eligible organisations for Phase 1: Those using more than 6,000MWh
of electricity through half-hourly meters in 2008 (when scheme
began). This equates to around 500,000 per year in energy bills. 9.
How does the CRC currently work? 10. 1How does the CRC currently
work? Participants must report annually on their carbon emissions.
11. 1 2How does the CRC currently work? Participants must report
annually on their carbon emissions. Participants buy allowances to
offset their carbon emissions. 12. 1 2 3How does the CRC currently
work? Participants must report annually on their carbon emissions.
Participants buy allowances to offset their carbon emissions.
Companies who reduce their carbon emissions decrease the number of
allowances they need to buy. 13. When does it all happen? The CRC
is divided into phases.APR2010 14. When does it all happen? The CRC
is divided into phases.Phase 1 Phase 1 runs from April 2010 to
March 2014. Cost of allowances: 12 per tonne of carbon
emitted.APR2010 15. What this looks like on your bill: 16. What
this looks like on your bill: Approx 0.65p/kWh on electricity costs
(39,000 on 6,000MWh). 17. What this looks like on your bill: Approx
0.65p/kWh on electricity costs (39,000 on 6,000MWh). Approx
0.22p/kWh on gas costs 18. Phase 2 There is a second phase for the
CRC and all the rules change! The rules for eligibility are
different and the allowance pricing will increase over time.Phase 2
runs from April 2014 to March 2019. All organisations must re-apply
for Phase 2!APR2014 19. The current timeline for the CRC4 November
2013 to 31 January 2014: Companies must register for Phase 2. 20.

The current timeline for the CRCQ2 2015: First annual reports due
for Phase 2. 22. The current timeline for the CRCMarch 2019: Phase
2 ends. 23. The current timeline for the CRC2019 to 2039: Four more
phases of five years each. 24. The current timeline for the
CRC2039: Final phase starts. 25. What to look out for in Phase 2
26. What to look out for in Phase 2 Carbon prices will go up after
April 2014! The government is putting legislation in place
suggesting that allowances may be auctioned or traded in Phase 2.

Companies qualify for Phase 2 if they consumed over 6000MWh of
total half-hourly electricity during the qualification year (April
2012 to 31 March 2013). Further criteria apply if any site holds a
Climate Change Agreement (CCA) or participates in the European
Union Emissions Trading Scheme. 28. What to look out for in Phase 2
The government has made 46 changes that aim to create a new,
leaner, simplified and refocused CRC. These include the removal of
the 90% rule (which requires all participants to account for at
least 90% of their carbon footprint emissions) and fewer fuels to
report on. 29. What should I be doing? 30. What should I be doing?
