Late surge boosts CRC registrations
30 Sep 2010
London – The number of organisations now registered to the CRC Carbon Reduction Scheme had reached 2779 as of 9am, 1 Oct, according to an Environment Agency (EA) spokeswoman.
The Agency was still processing around 400 registrations that arrived in just before the 30 Sept deadline and expected to issue a final figure for sign-ups early next week.
The number of communes facing fines for late registration or non-registration will not be known until a full audit of the details provided by organisations. This work is expected to be completed by the end of the month.
The EA was said to be “very positive” about meeting its target of 3,000-4,000 registrations by full participants to the scheme.
Nearly 2800 participants have registered. Between them these organisations have reported over 90% of the electricity consumption expected to be included within the scheme,” said the EA representative.
“Another 400 organisations who we are working with are in the process of completing their registrations. As a result we expect that participant registrations will be complete – subject to final checks on meters and coverage,” she added.
Another 12,112 organisations had met their requirements to provide information on their energy usage, out of an EA target of 15,000.
