Government has asked AIC to settle on a final CCA target in relative energy efficiency terms for the feed sector of a 3.694% reduction by 31 December 2022 compared to the 2018 baseline. This has been achieved as a result of AIC’s counter proposal to the original 6.667%.
The Government (BEIS) is extending the Climate Change Agreement (CCA) scheme. This is a welcome decision due to the financial discounts available to the feed sector for meeting the required energy targets.
