Safeguarding Your Climate Change Levy Exemption.

Utility Masters already manages Climate Change Levy exemption for over 130 customers across around 350 sites. These exemptions are worth a total of over £3.8 million each year. As a proven partner to many businesses, we can help you to manage and retain your exemption, safeguarding your energy costs.

Developed to increase energy efficiency in UK businesses, the Climate Change Levy is a cornerstone of the UK's drive to reduce emissions of harmful greenhouse gases. Many businesses have the chance to gain exemption from up to 80% of the Levy by agreeing to meet tough targets for energy efficiency, reducing their own contribution to these emissions.

The problem
If you qualify for exemption from the Climate Change Levy, you must ensure that your Climate Change Agreement is managed properly or you face the risk of losing your exemption. This could increase your direct energy costs by around 10%. Audits carried out by DEFRA have revealed poorer management of Climate Change Agreements than expected. Because of this, DEFRA are increasing the numbers of audits taking place. It is therefore more important than ever to make sure that your own Agreement is properly managed, reducing your risk of losing your Levy exemption.
