Schneider Electric 2- Energy EMEA – Rachel Cooper – August 2010

CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme

● Qualification● At least one half hourly meter settled

on the half hourly market● Total electricity usage of 6,000MWh in

2008 - full

● How it works● Organisations purchase allowances at

£12 tC02 in April for following year

● A league table is prepared based on actions taken for the early action metric, absolute emissions and growth

● Dependent on position on league table, organisation will receive money back in October +/- 10% in year 1, +/-50% by year 5

● How can organisation try to perform well?

● Year 1 Early action metric - ensure that AMR is installed and measuring on incomers and organisation has achieved Carbon Trust Standard or equivalent for majority of organisation

● Subsequent years – reduce amount of C02 produced and in proportion to organisational growth

● The organisation will save more through targeted energy reduction than it will achieve/lose through CRC
