Consolidated guidance for CRC participants

The Environment Agency and its Scottish (SEPA) and Northern Irish (NIEA) counterparts have published new guidance for phase I (April 2010 to March 2014) participants in the Carbon Reduction Commitment Energy Efficiency (CRC) scheme

The new guidance consolidates key elements of the 31 original guidance documents produced on specific aspects of the CRC.

Although the new document contains no substantive changes to the guidance already issued, the agencies say the consolidation process has allowed them to clarify topic areas where participants had identified that previous wording was unclear.

It also sets out the requirements of the new CRC Allocation Regulations and gives information on how to comply with them. The agencies say they are likely to regularly update their CRC guidance.
