Compliance Energy Experts You Can Trust
Climate Change Agreements (CCA’s) are voluntary arrangements between UK businesses and the Environment Agency. By committing to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon dioxide (COâ‚‚) emissions, eligible companies can benefit from significant tax savings.
Businesses that sign up to a CCA can receive a substantial discount on the Climate Change Levy (CCL) – a tax added to electricity and fuel bills.
​
-
Most sectors can save up to 92% on their CCL electricity costs.
-
Businesses in the mineralogical and metallurgical sectors may qualify for up to 100% relief.
​
CCA’s are open to a wide range of energy-intensive industries, including chemicals, paper, agriculture, and more.
​
​This is a smart way to reduce energy costs, improve sustainability, and meet environmental targets.
