Make Sure Your Organisation Doesn't Miss The Deadline - 30th September 2010

We're already into the final month of the registration period for the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme.   Utility Masters has been registering clients and submitting Information Disclosures throughout the last 6 months, protecting our customers against the possibility of punitive late-registration fines of £5,000 or more.

Information Disclosures From Only £250

If your business has only one half-hourly electricity meter, it needs to be registered within the scheme.  If you spend less than £500,000 on energy, an Information Disclosure will probably meet your needs. From only £250 for a single site, Utility Masters can take this headache away from you.

Is your organisation ready for the CRC?  Surprisingly few of your peers are... 

According to the latest information released by the Environment Agency (as we write this), only 1,500 full participant registrations and 5,000 information disclosures have been completed.  The deadline for this important process is the 30th of September.  With only 30% of expected organisations having complied, the Environment Agency is expecting a late rush of new cases.

More importantly, the penalties for not registering or submitting an Information Disclosure are potentially heavy.  Fines of £5,000 minimum are built into the scheme as a minimum for non-compliance.

All sites with one or more half-hourly electricity meters must be registered within the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme.

Make sure your organisation is not flouting the law: contact Utility Masters for clear, unbiased advice on your position.

 

Is Your Organisation Ready?

Fourteen weeks may sound like a long time to have left for your organisation's CRC Registration. But when you consider the following, time will soon be running out:

 

• Registration takes several weeks to process
• Summer holiday season is here
• Your whole UK organisation needs to register, not as single sites
• You must understand the impact of your CRC obligations

CRC Registration for Organisations Under 6,000,000kWh

All half-hourly metered electricity supplies must be registered, by law, with the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme before the end of September 2010.  Given that the Environment Agency (the scheme administrators) have stated that the process will take several weeks to complete, it is vital that all affected businesses act quickly.

Utility Masters have launched an Information Disclosure Service to help businesses to meet the registration obligations placed upon them.  Details of this service can be seen by following this link.

Environment Agency Announces that CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme Registration Process is Open.

The Environment Agency emailed all registered parties this week to confirm that the online CRC Registry is now open.  All organisations which qualify under the rules of the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme now need to either register as a Participant or make an Information Disclosure before 30th September 2010 to avoid the possibility of punitive penalties under the Scheme.

A plethora of guidance documents are available, but if your Organisation does not have the time or resource to understand this complex scheme and its effects on your business, contact Utility Masters now to see how we might help you.

Most Businesses Will Start The First Year of CRC Unprepared 

An article in yesterday's Sunday Times highlighted the level of ignorance about the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme, with only 6 weeks left before the Scheme comes into full effect.

Despite information about the CRC being available from the Environment Agency, most businesses have not readied themselves for the obligations they will be required, by law, to meet.  Late registrations carry significant penalty charges and the first year of the scheme is "riddled with deadlines", to quote the Sunday Times.

Utility Masters have already held four free seminars to help businesses to prepare for this important Scheme, and a fifth is planned in Wakefield on Tuesday 16th March.  Book now to attend, or see our blog post about the seminar here.

"Far easier to understand than any DEFRA seminar."

The recent CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme seminar, held at Brampton Heath Golf Centre in Northampton on 9th December 2009, attracted an excellent audience of businesses affected by the Scheme.

First Utility Masters CRC Seminar Meets With Success

The new CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme, as it was renamed in the latest announcements by the Government, will affect every organisation in the UK with at least one half-hourly read electricity meter, and in some cases will result in complex new reporting and payment obligations.

Utility Masters held the first in a series of CRC Seminars at Blackley Golf Club in Manchester on Tuesday 13th October 2009, which was met with excellent feedback from the attendees, including:

- "A complicated subject, handled well - plenty to think about."
- "Excellent as always."

If your business is likely to impacted by CRC, register now to attend next free Utility Masters seminar, on Wednesday 21st October 2009.

Starting with registration at 9.30am and running until lunchtime, the seminar will help you to understand the impact on your organisation, and the choices you will face before the scheme becomes a legal obligation in April next year.
