The CRC is hardly new news — the CRC has been widely debated in the industry for sometime, so in our view lack of preparation is not going to wash. Companies have had plenty of time prepare.
When we designed Telehouse West we did it with the intent that it should have a positive impact on the environment and our local community of Tower Hamlets. Our Customers can now host their equipment in a facility which is more energy efficient than anything they may currently have and by doing so reduce the amount of carbon allowances that they may be required to purchase under the current CRC legislation. Our neighbours benefit from the investment we made in converting our waste heat into electricity to be provided to power their homes and businesses. It's an exciting time to be part of Telehouse and to be a customer at Telehouse.
As a company we applaud the intentions of the CRC and the move to reduce carbon emissions at some of the largest organisations in the UK, whom to date have not been subject to any regulation in this area
