CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme: An Outline

The CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme is designed by government to require businesses to participate in lowering UK carbon emissions by engaging in energy saving projects to become more energy efficient. Formerly known as the Carbon Reduction Commitment scheme, it’s administered by the Environment Agency and forms an essential part of the UK’s commitment to reducing its overall carbon emissions in line with targets, so has green as well as money-saving credentials.

Energy Efficiency and the New Government

The new coalition government is making much of its commitment to maximising energy efficiencies and curbing climate change, and has even some sceptics agreeing that blue and yellow have combined to make green in UK politics. On the other hand, many regard new PM Cameron’s claim that this will be the UK’s “greenest government ever” as hyperbolic at best, and are more doubtful as to the new government’s green credentials. In this uncertain context, ACEA offers you some information about recent claims for and potential developments of the energy sector under the new government.
