CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme Summary of key points
Qualification At least one half hourly meter settled on the half hourly market Total electricity usage of 6,000MWh in 2008 - full How it works Organisations purchase allowances at £12 tC02 in April for following year A league table is prepared based on actions taken for the early action metric, absolute emissions and growth Dependent on position on league table, organisation will receive money back in October +/- 10% in year 1, +/-50% by year 5 How can organisation try to perform well? Year 1 Early action metric - ensure that AMR is installed and measuring on incomers and organisation has achieved Carbon Trust Standard or equivalent for majority of organisation Subsequent years – reduce amount of C02 produced and in proportion to organisational growth The organisation will save more through targeted energy reduction than it will achieve/lose through CRC CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme
