Hi All

Im in a new role, the company is already registered with the Carbon Reduction Scheme CRC, They are considering signing up to the Climate Change agreement CCA to take advantage of the tax break on the Climate Change Levy CCL.

I understand how the tax break works on the CCA (90% for electric and 65% for gas), but our consultants suggest we will make £££££'s saving from CRC by signing up to the CCA? I cant find anything to suggest this is the case?

Can anyone explain this to a ENV layman?

Thanks

If your energy use is covered by a climate change agreement, then that energy is not counted when deciding if you qualify for CRC scheme phase 2. See https://www.gov.uk/crc-e...ication-and-registration

Extract from From CRC Guidance below: -
"4.3.6. CCA facilities
For Phase 2, all electricity and gas consumed for the purpose of operating a certified climate change agreement (CCA) (www.environment-agency.gov.uk/cca) facility doesn’t count as a supply. When assessing whether you qualify for Phase 2 you will therefore need to clearly define your CCA facility boundaries as opposed to the site boundaries. Although you don’t need to count any supplies consumed for the purpose of operating CCA facilities in your qualifying supply, you must be clear on what supplies you are excluding on this basis.
In contrast to Phase 1, no exemptions for undertakings operating with CCA facilities will be available in Phase 2. Instead all energy supplied to CCA facilities is excluded for qualification and compliance.
You can exclude all energy covered by your Target Unit Indicator (TUI) which is part of your CCA agreement."
