This dataset has now been Retired as it has been replaced by 'Information for each Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) participant' dataset. https://data.gov.uk/dataset/4b709a17-6e98-4021-a207-137ac931bfc3/information-for-each-carbon-reduction-commitment-crc-participant This metadata record is for Approval for Access product AfA191. The CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme (CRC) Performance Data contains Performance League Tables (PLT) that have been compiled under the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme from data submitted by organisations in their Annual Reports. CRC requires the highest UK parent organisation to register for CRC and to list all of its significant group undertakings (SGUs), available as an aggregated dataset. SGUs are undertakings that would qualify for CRC in their own right if they did not have a higher parent organisation. The qualification criterion is that the undertaking was supplied with 6000MWh of qualifying electricity during 2008 (some supplies do not qualify for CRC). The CRC Order requires that we show in the PLT the undertakings that "belong" to a parent, together with a total emissions figure in tonnes/CO2 for that SGU and are presented in a league table based on carbon emissions. SGU's only apply to the private sector; the public sector will not have SGUs. • Participant Data - Detail of each participating organisation, carbon emissions, carbon reduction achievements, energy generated from renewable source and aggregated data. • Performance - This is the position in the Overall Performance League Table for a participant. This is calculated from their performance in each of the individual achievement tables (Early Action; Growth Metric; and Absolute Emissions) after the application of any weighting factors as defined: Phase 1 Early Action Weighting (EAW) Growth Weighting (GW) Absolute Weighting (AW) Year 1 1.00 0.00 0.00 Year 2 0.40 0.15 0.45 Year 3 0.20 0.20 0.60 Phase 2 Growth Weighting (GW) Absolute Weighting (AW) Phase 2 onwards 0.25 0.75 Achievement tables - For each participant the Registry will calculate their Early Action Achievement Table Score based on the following data that has been recorded in the Annual Report for the participant.

The CRC Order 2013 provides for publication of information on the basis of participants' annual reports plus details submitted when they registered for the scheme. The CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme (CRC) is a mandatory scheme which aims to improve energy efficiency and cut emissions for large public and private sector energy users across the UK. The scheme aims to encourage organisations to develop energy management strategies that promote a better understanding of energy usage, and lead to improved energy efficiency. The scheme is split into phases: Phase 1 from 1 April 2010 until 31 March 2014 and Phase 2 from 1 April 2014 until 31 March 2019. Each year, CRC participants have to monitor their energy consumption and report this information into the CRC Registry, an online IT system, which calculates their carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Participants must purchase and surrender 'allowances' to cover these emissions - one allowance for each tonne of CO2. Further information on the scheme can be found on the CRC pages of GOV.UK. The ARP format was introduced for the 2012 to 2013 reporting year and replaces the performance league tables (PLT). Removal of the PLT was part of the government’s simplification of the CRC scheme. These annually produced data sets contain the information provided by participants to the CRC Registry including organisational type, energy use and CO2 emissions. The data should be read in combination with the equivalent years ‘CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme: annual report publication which are located on GOV.UK. CRC performance league tables were published for the 2010 to 2011 and 2011 to 2012 compliance years and ranked participants according to their energy efficiency performance against a range of metrics.

This record is for Approval for Access (AfA) product AfA454. Data drawn from annual reports of Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) participants for the most recent compliance year. This dataset covers the UK. This data is used in the Annual Report Publication (ARP) under Article 75 of the legislation establishing the scheme - the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme Order 2013. This provides for publishing this information on the basis of participants' annual reports plus details submitted when they registered for the scheme. The ARP is developed in conjunction with the other Government Departments and Regulators responsible for the scheme's design and implementation. In phase 1 of the CRC scheme, we published information from participants’ annual reports in the form of the “Performance League Table” (PLT). The PLT was replaced by the ARP as part of DECC and the Devolved Administrations’ simplification of the scheme during phase 1. Phase 2 consists of 5 consecutive compliance years commencing 2014/15 and due to simplification measures and changes introduced the data for Phase 2 is not directly compatible with Phase 1.
