The new Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) regulations will affect about 20,000 UK organisations - public and private - who pay for their electricity via a 'half-hour' meter. About 5,000 of these will be spending £500,000 or more annually on electricity, and they will be full participants in the scheme. What does this mean? Any organisation with a half-hour meter will have to report its energy use and its carbon footprint. Auditable records must be kept and there are penalties for non-compliance. Reporting starts now, but in April 2011 the 5,000 largest users will have to start paying for their CO2 emissions. The other 15,000 major users will have to keep detailed records to show they are exempt.
