large private and public sector organisations
If your half hourly metered electricity supply was 6,000MWh or more in 2008 you will need to register as a participant using the online registry between 1 April 2010 and 30 September 2010.
If you qualify as a participant, and you fail to register between 1 April 2010 and 30 September 2010, you can be fined £5,000 plus a further £500 for each working day you do not register after 30 September 2010 and the name of your organisation may be published.
The CRC mainly affects large private and public sector organisations. Sole traders and individuals, who are considered to be small emitters, are excluded from the CRC.
You are likely to be covered by the CRC if your organisation’s electricity is metered by at least one half hourly meter (HHM) and you buy on the half hourly market. Your electricity supplier can tell you if you buy electricity on the half hourly market.
The Environment Agency has written to all UK organisations they believe have an obligation under the CRC. You may be able to claim a full or partial exemption from the CRC if enough of your emissions are covered by a climate change agreement (CCA).
