EVALUATION OF THE STREAMLINED ENERGY AND CARBON REPORTING (SECR)

EVALUATION OF THE STREAMLINED ENERGY AND CARBON REPORTING (SECR)

The Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) evaluation brings together extensive research to assess whether SECR is effectively driving real-world energy efficiency and decarbonisation actions. Commissioned to support the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), the findings will feed into the statutory post-implementation review of SECR and help determine its impact and cost-effectiveness.

Beyond SECR itself, the evidence will strengthen the wider case for sustainability reporting as a policy tool, offering insights that can inform future developments across DESNZ and other departments seeking to accelerate carbon reduction and energy efficiency through transparent reporting requirements.
