Small Businesses
Small businesses operate in almost every sector at varying degrees of energy intensity. Due to their size, these businesses are outside the coverage of some legislation, such as the
CRC
, however, all will have premises subject to Building Regulations and only the very smallest fall outside the Climate Change Levy.
Climate Change Levy & Agreements
The
Climate Change Levy (CCL)
applies a tax on non-domestic energy bills to encourage energy efficiency. Climate Change Agreements offer discounts on the levy for energy intensive sectors.
Buildings Policy
Buildings
are responsible for 40% of UK emissions, making Building Regulations and energy certificates vital tools in reducing emissions across business.
Renewable Energy Incentives
Beyond energy efficiency, installing in-house
renewable electricity and heat generation
presents an opportunity for businesses to reduce emissions and benefit from government incentives.
