Climate change agreements are voluntary agreements made between UK industry and the Environment Agency to reduce energy use and carbon emissions. In return, operators receive a discount on the Climate Change Levy (CCL), a tax added to electricity and fuel bills.
At Spring Budget 2023, the Government confirmed that the current scheme would be extended, as well as being reopened to new entrants. Targets will be in place from 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024, with performance against those Targets allowing reduced rates of CCL to continue to be available for eligible businesses for a further two years until 31 March 2027.
A new consultation sets out proposals for this extension. Applications for new entrants will open on 1 May 2023 and close on 30 September 2023.
If you hold a CCA, we’ll help you correctly measure and track your energy consumption and carbon emissions. We’ll also produce your end of target period report.
If you’re new to CCAs, we can manage the application process on your behalf.
For ongoing compliance, we’ll identify new energy efficiency opportunities, that deliver clear return on investment. We’ll also help you make the business case to decision makers in your organisation.
