Climate Change Agreement (CCA) for Data CentresClimate Change Agreement • December 2nd, 2015
This is our second report on the CCA for Data centres. It explains how the CCA scheme works and how targets are set for the data centre sector. It sets out the performance of the sector against its first target under the scheme. The sector exceeded this preliminary target by a comfortable margin, which sets operators up well for their more ambitious second milestone. Whilst interpretation of the results is inevitably limited by the fact that the reporting period was abnormally short, some very useful insights have emerged. These include the effect

Climate Change Agreement for Data Centres EUETS for Data Centre participantsClimate Change Agreement • February 20th, 2017
Data Centres use standby generators to provide emergency power in the event of mains grid failure. Generators tend to be test fired on average once a month (for around an hour). Consequently fuel use is low: on-site generated electricity averages 0.14% of total energy use in data centres. However, generator fuel consumption has to be reported by CCA participants and some sites also have to report under EU ETS if the generating capacity is large enough (see our separate guidance).

We proposed that a non-linear series of targets for efficiency improvements in data centres would be most appropriate for the sector. We suggested that the series was loaded so that the most ambitious targets occurred in the second and third target periods rather than the first and fourth. This approach would give the sector time to implement efficiency measures but will still deliver approximately the same net carbon reductions as a linear target. Our proposal was illustrated in the chart and our reasoning is explained below. The proposal was accepted by DECC.DECC has now been superseded by BEIS (Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy)

70/30 Rule Rule allowing for all the energy consumed at a site to be included in the CCA eligible facility if 70% or more of the site’s energy is consumed within the installation. Therule provides for an additional amount of the site’s energy to be included in the eligible facility if the energy consumed by the installation is less than 70% of the energy consumed on the site. The additional energy that can be included is a maximum of 3/7th of the energy consumed in the installation.

THE CLIMATE CHANGE AGREEMENT FOR COLD STORES: AN INDUSTRY WORKING TOGETHER TO IMPROVE ENERGY EFFICIENCYClimate Change Agreement • April 16th, 2021
The Climate Change Agreements were established in 2003, in response to the introduction of Climate Change Levy as a means to reduce industrial energy and contribute to the UKs commitments under the Kyoto Agreement. The scheme offers energy intensive industries significant discounts on their Levy if they agree to targets for improving their energy efficiency. For cold storage, performance is overseen by the Cold Chain Federation1. Cold stores have consistently met the efficiency targets of the scheme and in the process have saved over £10m a year. The Federation has been instrumental in helping the sector to work together to achieve its targets through strong administrative and technical support. The scheme, recently extended until 2025, is popular with both industry and Government and a recent evaluation found they provide value for the economy and the taxpayer, promote energy efficiency and protect the competitiveness of UK business.

Climate Change Agreements (CCAs) are just one of a suite of carbon and energy policies introduced by the UK Government to reduce energy consumption and hence carbon emissions. CCAs are one of the ‘oldest’ policies having been introduced in 2001 when the Climate Change Levy (CCL) was introduced. Since 2001, a number of other carbon and energy reporting schemes have been introduced. In recent years, the Government has tried to prevent overlap between the schemes, however, there remains complex interactions between the schemes.
