Carbon Reduction Commitment Energy Efficiency Scheme (CRC) The CRC is a mandatory emissions trading regime for the UK Its aim is to improve energy efficiency and cut emissions in large public and private sector organisations It is designed to tackle CO 2 emissions not already covered by: Climate Change Agreements (CCAs) or the EU Emissions Trading Scheme Qualifying organisations are responsible for around 10% of the UK’s CO 2 emissions Qualifying organisations have to fully embrace the scheme or face financial and reputational penalties

Main Drivers for Energy Efficiency Improvements Cost of allowances, which will not be “recycled” – adds approximately 10% to energy costs Annual performance League Table ranks participants on energy efficiency performance – impacts on reputation League Table based on key measures Automatic metering (Early Action Metric – years 1-3 only) Carbon Trust Standard or equivalent (Early Action Metric) Growth of business (year 2 onward) Absolute energy reduction (year 2 onward – 75% from year 4)
