Carbon Reduction Commitment

Today I got the draft of a CRC report from EDF energy, our electricity supplier...
All organizations have to assess themselves by sometime in Sept 2010 to see if they qualify for the full scheme and if so register with the environment agency. (This would involve buying carbon credits for the following year)
Luckily we don't, although I wasn't sure there for a while... full registration is required when you consume 6,000 Mwh. Now that's a lot of numbers in a row and it confused me.
It turns out we use about 261,926kwh of elec... double that for gas and we use, lets say: 600,000kwh of energy... 10% of the required amount.
As an additional note... I use a logging tool called Smeasure which compares energy usage to degree days (i.e. ambient temp'ish). This service puts us at above average in the efficiency of the use of our energy.
