UK Industrial Facilities With Climate Change Levy Discounts

Reduced Rate Certificates list UK facilities covered by Climate Change Agreements, entitling them to a levy discount. The Environment Agency publishes and updates this list monthly, covering certification periods from April 2013 to June 2027. Six industrial sectors have facility addresses withheld for security reasons.

Use Cases

• Analyze the distribution of enrolled facilities by sector using the sector classification field.
• Track facility enrollment changes over time using the certification period and monthly update timestamps.
• Study the geographic concentration of participating facilities using the published address data.
• Correlate program participation periods with reported energy consumption or emissions data from other sources.

Strengths

• Data covers a 14-year period from April 2013 to June 2027 across seven certification periods.
• List is updated monthly on the last working day, providing regular refreshment.
• Publication is mandated by UK regulations (Climate Change Agreements (Administration) Regulations 2012), ensuring official provenance.

Limitations

• Address data for six specific industrial sectors is withheld, creating incomplete geographic analysis for those areas.
• The total number of facilities (row count) and specific data columns are unknown from the description.
• Data is limited to UK facilities, preventing international comparative analysis.
