Climate Change Agreement

The Climate Change Agreements (CCA) scheme is a voluntary scheme. It enables holders of an agreement to claim a discount on the Climate Change Levy (CCL) charged on certain fuels in exchange for agreeing to energy efficiency improvement targets. 

NOTE:

The Government announced in the 2020 Spring Budget that it would increase the Climate Change Levy that businesses pay on gas and reopen and extend the Climate Change Agreement scheme by two years, effectively extending the present phase to 2025.

The scheme is currently under consultation, with the intention of opening an amended scheme in 2023.
