The CRC (Carbon Reduction Commitment) came into force on the 1st April this year. As most of you will know by now, the CRC is a mandatory scheme in place to encourage companies and organisations cut carbon emissions. As of the 5th July only 651 companies have registered from an expected 5,000, which is well below the result The Environment Agency were expecting.
The deadline to register with the Environment Agency under the CRC scheme is 30th September 2010. All public and private sector organisations that have at least one half-hourly electricity meter during 2008 are encouraged to participate. Failure to register before the deadline could result in fines of up to £5,000 plus an additional £500 per day for each working day that they fail to register up to a maximum of 80 days.
A spokesperson for The Environment Agency said: “Participants successful in reducing energy consumption will not only save money on energy bills, they will also receive financial incentives and boost their reputation as an environmentally-conscious organisation. These savings should be well in excess of the costs of participating in the scheme.”
Make sure you are prepared for the CRC and avoid hefty fines. Saving energy can be a positive, cost-effective and rewarding project.

I really wished that the US would follow in this example! I know I have my company follow energy saving guidelines but it would be great if we were acknowledged for it!
ReplyDeleteIf you could let us know what kind of energy saving guidelines/strategies you are taking perhaps we could perhaps post a blog of your achievements? We love hearing about how companies are taking energy-saving initiatives within their company's/organisations. My email address is on our company website under contact us. Feel free to get in touch. Thanks. - Lyndsay Caddick, Marketing Executive, Powermaster.
