Answer
The Government consultation on Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) closed on the 4th January 2018. The consultation document included questions on expanding the reporting framework to require more companies to report their energy use and carbon emissions than are currently required to do so. It recognised that more consistent disclosure of energy use and carbon emissions would raise awareness of energy efficiency, and could improve transparency for investors, providing the market with useful information. We intend to publish the Government response by the summer recess.
