Climate Change Agreement: Closure

Emma Fryer is concerned by Government’s decision to close the CCA to new participants from October this year.

The Climate Change Agreement is set to continue until 2023 and existing participants will be able to claim exemption from CRC (until is it abolished next year) and discount on the Climate Change Levy until the end of the scheme.   However, the CCA closes to new entrants from October 31st 2018 which effectively imposes a June or July deadline for new applications because they can take several months to process. 

Under current proposals, there will be almost a five year period when new facilities will not have access to the CCL rebate.   

We are lobbying Government to reconsider the current approach and asking BEIS to extend the period when new sites can join until 2020.  However, there is no guarantee that we will be successful and our initial approaches have met resistance. 

If you have a site that is eligible and have not yet joined the CCA we suggest that you take immediate steps to enrol.  Read the documents below and /or get in touch via our helpdesk: techUK@slrconsulting.com
