Climate Change Agreements (CCA)

The Climate Change Levy is a tax on the use of energy in industry, commerce and the public sector with associated offsetting cuts in employers' National Insurance Contributions and additional support for energy efficiency schemes and renewable sources of energy.

The aim of the levy is to encourage users to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions of greenhouse gases.

Climate Change Agreements (CCA) allow energy intensive business users to receive up to 80 per cent discount from the Climate Change Levy, in return for meeting energy efficiency or carbon saving targets.

The Green Consultancy can:  

• Identify progress in meeting CCA sector targets
• Recommend further actions to meet or exceed targets
• Produce an implementation plan

We will undertake a survey that:  

• Focuses on the CCA Target Unit (single site or group of sites) 
• Identifies and assesses energy/carbon saving potential over and above current plans
• Reviews energy management procedures
• Produces an implementation plan based on marginal carbon abatement costs

The survey is a flexible tool and appropriate emphasis will be applied depending on your individual circumstances.

The survey specifically addresses:  

• CCA obligations
• Progress towards achievement
• Additional measures to at least meet, and usually exceed, your CCA obligations 
• Impact of current energy consumption and the result if recommended actions are implemented
