The CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme (previously known as the Carbon Reduction Commitment) is a new, mandatory, energy saving and carbon emissions reduction scheme for the UK.
It will act as an incentive to improve energy efficiency and will help large private and public sector organisations generate cost savings through reduced energy bills. These savings should exceed the cost of participating.
Register for CRC
| If you qualify for the scheme, you must register your organisation using our registry portal between 1 April and 30 September 2010. To register for CRC see the registry page. |
What does the scheme involve?
Organisations will need to monitor their emissions and purchase allowances to emit carbon dioxide (CO2). The more CO2 an organisation emits, the more allowances it will need to purchase, so there is a direct incentive to reduce emissions.
Does my organisation qualify?
The CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme is mandatory. How you qualify and what you need to do depends on your organisation's electricity consumption through half hourly meters during 2008. Find out more using
