The purpose of the report of the Head of Universal and Infrastructure is to inform Members on actions that have been taken to comply with the mandatory Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) Energy Efficiency Scheme for the 2013/14 Compliance Year.

Resolved – That the report be noted and that:

(1)  The Council has complied with the requirements of the CRC for 2013/14.

(2)  The Council is registered for CRC Phase 2 as required by the regulations.

(3)  Reducing use of energy and meeting targets set by the Carbon Budget will reduce emissions of Carbon Dioxide that will consequently reduce the number of allowances the Council will have to purchase.

(4)  Reducing energy use will also minimise energy purchase costs.
