The Carbon Reduction Commitment Energy Efficiency Scheme (CRC EES) is an important part of plans to reduce UK emissions in line with requirements established by the Climate Change Bill. It developed from the recommendation for the establishment of a price for carbon in the Stern report and is seen as a key mechanism for bringing about a reduction in green house gas emissions.
The scheme affects government departments, and those local authorities, schools, NHS trusts, fire and police authorities that qualify for the scheme. It also includes private sector companies.
Compliance with the scheme starts in April 2010 with the footprint year, allowing organisations a trial period to ensure that they have in place all the information and building blocks they need before actual trading starts place in April 2011. The diagram below shows the Department of Energy and Climate Change’s timeline with key support from CIPFA added to the diagram.
