CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme (CRC)Carbon Reduction CommitmentStarting in April 2010, the Carbon Reduction Commitment (recently renamed the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme) is the UK's first mandatory carbon trading scheme. The initial phase of the Carbon Reduction Commitment will be compulsory for organisations that consume over 6,000 MWh (6,000,000 kWh) of half-hourly metered electricity during the period from January 2008 to December 2008. At today's prices, this is roughly equivalent to total half hourly electricity bills of approximately £500,000 per year.For a no obligation disscussion to see if CRC will affect your company please call:

The Benefits of the Carbon Reduction CommitmentThe carbon reduction commitment presents a number of benefits to organisations that fall within the scheme.FinancialThe carbon reduction commitment sets out a clear risk to organisations that fail to reduce their carbon emissions. The financial implications could result in penalties of thousands, or even millions, of pounds for large organisations. However, there is also the opportunity for the best performing organisations to receive similarly large bonus payments as reward for their efforts.Brand and MarketingWith the carbon reduction commitment league tables being published each year, the media will have full access to the performance information of all organisations that fall within the scheme. As such, the best performing organisations will benefit from recognition of their achievements.Corporate Social ResponsibilityOver time, organisations that make significant savings in the first few years will find it more and more difficult to achieve such high-level percentage savings on their carbon emissions. This could be considered as a negative aspect of the carbon reduction commitment scheme, as there will be less incentive for organisations to continue their commitment to reduce CO2. However, having reduced their carbon emissions, these organisations will enjoy long-term financial benefits from reduced energy costs.
