Government proposes that Joint Ventures and PFI/PPP/BDFO arrangements (where there is no parent with a greater than 50% controlling stake) will participate as individual CRC organisations (where the inclusion threshold is exceeded). Responsibility would not be split between the shareholders. Therefore, where no single organisation owns a majority share in a company, the company’s electricity consumption will not be aggregated with that of its joint owners for the purposes of ascertaining eligibility for the scheme. This principle is clearly also relevant to private equity and venture capital contexts. Article 7 and Schedule 2 (para 5 (d)) of the Draft Order deals with the classification of organisations with multiple owners.
