What is CRC?

The CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme is a mandatory emissions trading scheme that was introduced in April 2010.

Who will it affect?

It will affect all organisations whose electricity consumption through their half hourly metered supplies (including AMR meters) exceeded 6,000 MWh/year (£400,000 to £600,000) in the year ending December 2008, and will include all energy except transport fuels.

How does it work?

• Each participant will have base year (‘Footprint Year) which is April 2010 until March 2011
• The annual carbon reduction performance will be compared against this.
• Participants will have to purchase Allowances, the first being 2012
