About the CRC
The CRC is a mandatory emissions trading scheme that aims to deliver energy (and so carbon) savings in large organisations. The scheme is will start on 1 April 2010 and the introductory phase will run until March 2013. The scheme will affect all organisations that had at least one meter settled on the half-hourly market and whose total annual electricity
supplies through half-hourly meters (HHM) exceeded 6,000MWh in calendar year 2008.
This could include supermarkets, hotel chains, large offices and small industrial facilities in the private sector. Parts of the public sector will also be captured e.g. local authorities (including state-funded schools within their portfolio in GB), all central government departments, hospitals and universities.
