CRC Deadlines: 4 Weeks To Register, 7 Months To Escape

Posted on 02. Sep, 2010 by Ross in Government Policy, United Kingdom

The green media has been reporting that, a month before D-day for CRC registration, 1698 organisations of the 3-4000 CRC participants have already registered, putting the energy-efficiency scheme’ on course’ for the vast majority to register before heavy fines kick in.

What they remain unaware of, is that the same companies only have 7 months left to escape the much larger and more costly second phase of the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme, and that only cutting their electricity consumption now will enable them to duck out of the scheme.

The registration news has been heralded a welcome relief by many CRC commentators, following dire predictions last month of up to 7000 companies likely to miss the registration deadline (companies with half the participation threshold also have to register their consumption despite not entering the full scheme). The news has been overstated somewhat though: the original number of CRC participants was expected to be around 5000, so just where the 1000-2000 other companies have gone to enable the Environment Agency to claim ‘almost half’ had registered is yet to be seen.
