The government has recently announced a welcome two year extension to the current Climate Change Agreement (CCA) scheme previously due to end in July 2025.
The voluntary scheme allows sites within 54 sectors to claim a significant reduction off the Climate Change Levy (CCL) that appears on every UK company’s energy bills. Eligible sites are required to join an Umbrella Agreement administered by the sector association for that industry and meet energy efficiency targets agreed between the government and that sector.
The BPIF has been entrusted by the government with the Umbrella Agreement on behalf of the whole print sector. It currently administers the scheme for around 330 of the larger energy users within the industry, saving the industry over £11million every year.
For further details please contact Steve Walker on 07801 981 326 or Darren Shepherd on 07714 134 655.
