On 1st April 2010, the government’s CRC Energy Efficiency (Carbon Reduction Commitment) legislation came into effect.

The CRC Energy Efficiency legislation applies to all companies with at least one electricity meter settled on the half-hourly market. Organisations who consumed more than 6,000 megawatt-hours of half hourly metered electricity in 2008 will be required to participate fully in the scheme.

As a result of the Comprehensive Spending Review and 2011 Budget, participants must purchase allowances for each tonne of carbon emissions generated through energy use. The initial cost of CRC allowances will be set at £12/tonne.

Transpired solar collectors is the most cost effective way to reduce fuel costs and carbon emissions. The technology can save up to 50% on fuel bill for manufacturing plants, heated warehousing, schools and many more applications.
