Details

The revised Umbrella and Underlying templates supersede previous templates. They incorporate the amendments in relation to the extension to the Climate Change Agreements (CCAs) scheme that was announced at Spring Budget 2020.

An Umbrella Agreement is an agreement between a sector association and the Administrator that governs the obligations of both parties within the Climate Change Agreements scheme. It lists all the target units covered by the Umbrella Agreement when it was signed.

An Underlying Agreement is an agreement between the operator of a target unit and the Administrator that governs the obligations of the Administrator and the target unit (and its constituent eligible facilities) within the Climate Change Agreements scheme.

Read these revised templates in conjunction with the Climate Change Agreements Scheme guidance.
