Climate Change Agreement
CCA scheme reopened – new year, new opportunity to make savings on your energy bills!
The Climate Change Agreement (CCA) scheme has re-opened, with a new application deadline of 31st March 2022. This means that organisations like yours could qualify for CCL savings of up to 92% – but the clock is ticking. Not sure if your organisation falls under the scheme criteria? Don’t delay – talk to one of our consultants before the deadline passes.
Benefits of a CCA
The long client working relationships forged by Trident has allowed an in-depth understanding of client’s activities, issues and objectives and has helped provide significant added value in terms of driving forward energy efficiency, improved carbon reporting and moving towards a carbon neutral future.
CCL savings
Significant discount to participating businesses on the Climate Change Levy (CCL) paid. Savings of up to 92% on electricity, 83% on gas and 77% on LPG.
Energy efficiency
Considerable savings on your energy bills as a result of the energy efficiency improvements made towards these targets.
Reduce carbon impacts
Make proactive steps to reduce your carbon footprint and an energy-efficient, low-carbon future.
Meet Net Zero objectives
Take positive action to tackle climate change and meet your Net-Zero targets.
Significant cost saving opportunities
The Climate Change Agreement, first established in 2001, is an innovative government initiative designed to reward eligible industrial sectors who make measurable changes in reducing carbon emissions with considerable discounts on their CCL charges.
Qualifying companies that meet targets and other obligations under the scheme, will receive reduced CCL rates until the end of the current scheme which is set for March 2025. Participants will also see significant energy bill savings from the energy efficiency improvements they make towards these targets.
The Government has temporarily reopened the CCA scheme for new applicants, with the cut-off date for new applications set for 31st March 2022 – although some trade associations have set their own earlier deadlines weeks ahead of this date.
