Many businesses, especially those in industry, are looking to reduce their carbon footprint. Not only do they want to reduce their impact on the environment but they also want to save money and comply with legislation. The carbon reduction commitment has been put into place for this reason.
The carbon reduction commitment, or CRC, is an energy saving and climate change scheme that is mandatory for large businesses. It supplements the EU emissions trading system as well as the climate change agreements by adding legislature not already in place. CRC applies if your business has a half hourly meter and a yearly electricity consumption of 6 000 MWh. If this applies to you then you should submit an annual consumption report. You should also be aware of your obligations and any fines that apply of you fail to comply.
It is important to use your business gas efficiently so that you can adhere to the carbon reduction commitment.
