What types of schools will local authorities be responsible for within the CRC?
A participating local authority will be responsible for emissions from all schools that it maintains and from any academies and city technology colleges situated in its area. The local authority will be defined as the CRC Participant and will have the legal and financial responsibility for participating in the scheme. Where the school is responsible for the energy supply, this energy use will count as part of the local authority’s CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme footprint. Government will require schools to provide ‘reasonable assistance’ to their local authority where so requested. In Northern Ireland, the Education and Skills Authority is the Responsible Person for emissions from all schools.
