Climate Change Agreements scheme extension and reforms for any future scheme

We’d like your views on proposals to:

• extend the current climate change agreements (CCA) scheme by 2 years, through:
  • the addition of a new Target Period, from 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2022
  • extending certification for reduced rates of CCL for participants meeting obligations under the scheme to 31 March 2025
• re-open the scheme, allowing eligible facilities not currently participating to apply to join

In addition we’re seeking your initial views on potential reforms were there to be a future CCA scheme.

The consultation is open to anyone, but in particular we’d like views from:

• sector associations and business which participate in the scheme
• operators of facilities not currently in the scheme that may be eligible
• organisations such as trade associations, NGOs, consultants and academia and other bodies who have an interest in the scheme

The CCA scheme operates on a UK-wide basis.

Please do not send responses by post to the department during the coronavirus lockdown period as we will not be able to access them.
