First the bad news:
If you buy energy from a conventional energy source then the climate change
levy (CCL) will mean that you will have to pay the new CCL tax. All UK businesses
and public sector organisations will pay the CCL tax on their energy consumption!!
How much can you save?
Now the good news:
Clarke Energy can supply a cost-effective combined heat and power (CHP) scheme
that will be exempt from the CCL tax. Installing a CHP system to beat the CCL
tax will mean massive potential savings for your business.
Who will pay the CCL and what will it cost?
The UK has set itself a domestic objective that goes beyond our legally binding
Kyoto target. The UK government plans to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide by
20% on 1990 levels by 2010. UK businesses and public sector organisations will
pay the levy via their energy bills. The full rates of the CCL are:
- 0.43p/kWh for electricity
- 0.15p/kWh for gas
- 1.17 p/kilogram for coal
- 0.96 p/kilogram for LPG
- Fuel oils will not attract the levy as they are already subject to excise
duty.
The Climate Change Levy (CCL) will reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. The Climate
Change Levy (CCL) will encourage energy efficiency in business, agriculture, commerce
and the public sector. Clarke Energy will help you to reduce your businesses CCL
obligations to a minimum.
