During our recent events in London and Leeds we conducted a survey on the CRC simplification process. 14 public sector organisations responded, and the results show a clear scepticism amongst them that the changes will be a ‘simplification’.
The key findings were:
- Only 14% of respondents thought that there would be a reduction in their admin time and costs (42% expect an increase; 21% expect it to remain the same).
- 50% expect their reported CO2 emissions to rise.
- On CRC allowance costs, only one respondent expected their bill to reduce (by just £30k), whilst 57% of respondents expected a bigger bill (ranging from £25k to £360k, with an average expected increase of over £200k).
We asked respondents whether each of the proposed changes would lead to an increase or decrease in their reported CO2 or admin time.
