Phase 2 Qualification

CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme

Qualification;

• 6000 MWh of electricity delivered through settled half hour

meters between 01 April 2012 – 31 March 2013

• Exclude supplies to CCA and EU ETS facilities and dynamic pseudo

supplies

• Public bodies to register/assess qualification on the basis of their

legal structure on 31 March 2013 (same as phase 1).

CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme

Compliance

CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme

Fuels;

• Electricity delivered through meter profiles 3-8 and 00 only

• Gas used for heating purposes, delivered through meters that

measured more than 73,200kWh during the compliance year

CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme

Supply Rules;

• Footprint reports going

• Residual Measurement Lists going

• Core non-core distinction going

CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme

Supply Rules;

• Emission factors will be brought in line with DEFRA annual Green

House Gas Emissions factors

• Licensed activities:

Gas used for electricity generation excluded

Electricity directly used for generation transmission and distribution

of gas excluded

CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme

Supply Rules;

• Electricity Generating Credits to be removed from the scheme

• New emissions factor for self supplied electricity

CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme

Supply Rules;

• CCA Exemptions to be removed from the scheme

• This also applies to energy supplied to EU ETS installations

• Energy supplied to state funded schools in England will also be

excluded

CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme

Supply Rules;

• Responsible for the supply you request to be delivered

• The payment requirement is to be removed from the supply

criteria

• A supply can only be classed as unconsumed if it is metered

• The landlord tenant rule is to stay the same, except for

construction leases of 30 years or more

Organisational Rules:

• SGUs going, replaced by Participant Equivalents (PE)

• Disaggregation will be available for all undertakings (except top

parent) – individually or as a group

• Disaggregation can take place at any time

• Designated change staying largely as it is

CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme

Allowance Sales;

• 2 sales each year

• Surrender of allowances deadline moved to end of October

Reporting and Record Keeping:

• Data retention requirements to be reduced to 6 years after the

end of the scheme year it refers to

CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme

Transition Period;

For current compliance year 2012/13:

• Only report on 2 fuels:

- Electricity delivered through meter profiles 3-8 and 00

- Gas used for heating purposes, delivered through meters that

measured more than 73,200kWh during the compliance year

• 2% de minimis on gas applies

• Electricity Generating Credits cannot be claimed where the input

fuel should have been reported in years 1 and 2

• Surrender date for allowances will be end of October
