A formal consultation has been launched to gain initial views to simplify CRC.
The main proposed amendments include extending the introductory phase and postponing the start of Phase 2 until 2013 as well as potentially removing of the information disclosure requirement.
The deadline for consultation responses is 17 December 2010. Interested parties should visit the website of the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) at wordDECC - Consultation on amendments to the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme Order 2010.
The changes to the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme were announced as part of the Government's Spending Review.
Commenting on the announcement, Rob Tanzer, technical support manager for the Chloride AC Power business of Emerson Network Power explains the impact for high power consuming businesses.
“Major power users such as the biggest data centres have already bought into the need to lower their energy bills for a variety of reasons, including the CRC. There are still sound commercial reasons for all organisations to be installing the most energy efficient equipment available, today rather than tomorrow. For organisations yet to qualify, there’s a significant opportunity at hand. Businesses have breathing space, either to bring emissions below threshold levels or to initiate projects that will cut exposure when the CRC finally hits.”
