Climate Change Agreements: consultation on extension and future scheme (2023)

This consultation seeks view on an extension to the current scheme, adding a reporting period between 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024. This will result in another certification period ending on 31 March 2027, providing further reductions in the Climate Change Levy for participants.

The scheme would be open to new entrants who qualify under the current eligibility criteria.

The consultation outlines:

• aspects of the current scheme that will be retained for the extension, as well as some proposed changes
• further developed proposals for a potential future scheme, following on from proposals in our last consultation including target setting, reporting and how performance will be measured

We are seeking views from:

• sector associations and business which participate in the scheme
• operators of facilities not currently in the scheme that may be eligible
• trade associations
• NGOs
• consultants
• energy suppliers
• academia
• any others with an interest in the scheme
