EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme (Allocation of Allowances for Payment) Regulations 2013 (S.I. 2013/3103).

They correct an error and set the price of allowances issued in relation to 2014 at £12, which is the intended policy.

These Regulations are covered by the full impact assessment produced in relation to the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme Order 2013 (S.I. 2013/1119), which contains an assessment of the effect that the 2013 Regulations and that Order, taken together, will have on the costs of business and the voluntary sector. That assessment is annexed to the Explanatory Memorandum to the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme Order 2013 which is available alongside the instrument on www.legislation.gov.uk or from the Department for Energy and Climate Change, 3 Whitehall Place, London, SW1A 2AW.
