Management Information Sheet
Get Ready to Read Your Utility Meters
As part of the Government's drive to encourage energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions, there is now a requirement for the county council to report energy consumption data to government for inclusion in the National Indicator 185 (Percentage CO2 reduction from Local Authority operations).
DECC have agreed that schools' energy usage forms part of the authority's carbon footprint, alongside other council buildings. The authority also has legal and financial responsibility for participating in the Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) scheme from 2010. The last year is the base year for the CRC and it is crucial that meter readings and stored fuel deliveries are accurately recorded. Ideally the reading needs to be taken prior to 31st March to avoid a potential CRC penalty of 10% uplift for estimated supplies.
Under the scheme a duty has been placed on all schools (including PFI and Academies schools) requiring them to supply the Local Authority with annual energy use data, allowing it to calculate its emissions under the scheme and purchase allowances to cover the emissions.
Once again this year we need your assistance to get current, accurate data on your energy usage. To this end we need you to send us your meter readings, stock level information as read on or before 31st March 2012 for oil, gas, propane, electricity and water as well as any metered renewables that you may have. Under the CRC there is also an obligation to report on solid fuel deliveries and as a consequence any non-ESPO solid fuel delivery dates and quantities are also required.
The readings you supply this year will also feed into Norfolk County Council's energy management system. This along with previous year's data and reads will be used for, amongst other things, calculating consumption patterns, linking into the Energy Certification of Buildings programme and in the identifying of possible water leaks and other wastage, thus saving you money. In short the information required is as follows:-
Meter readings for all utility meters (including any renewables).
Stock levels for all stored fuel tanks..
All delivery quantities and delivery dates in the past financial year for non-ESPO contract heating oil (ie NOT PACE Petroleum)..
Delivery quantities and delivery dates for all propane/LPG..
Delivery quantities and delivery dates for all biomass.
If you need assistance with reading your meter, a helpful guide is included here. If for any reason you are unable to access your utility meter(s) or the online recording form, please let us know as soon as possible by contacting Michael Dawson on 01603 706136. It is appreciated that water meters, in particular, can be very difficult to access and understand if you are unable to provide a reading. If there are difficulties in reading or accessing the water meter, please submit a billed meter reading along with the reading date and details provided on your last water invoice.
