Overview

The UK's new mandatory emissions trading scheme, the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme, is rapidly progressing towards its first milestone: the 30 September registration deadline. CRC is already becoming a due diligence point on UK real estate and M&A deals.

The CRC is an ambitious piece of climate change legislation that seeks to force non-energy intensive businesses and organisations in both the private and public sectors to consider their energy efficiency. The CRC does this through a range of financial and reputational drivers as

Organisations should aim to register well ahead of the 30 September 2010 deadline. In this briefing, Travers Smith provides more information.
