Dairy Energy Savings Limited (DES) is a company set
up by Dairy UK to operate the dairy sector Climate Change
Agreement (CCA).
From 1 April 2001 the Government introduced an energy tax,
namely the Climate Change Levy.
This levy has added approximately 15 per cent to your company
energy bill per annum.
Milk processing companies can save 80% of this tax by joining
the DES scheme and agreeing to reduce their relative energy
consumption over time.
To date the agreement covers 130 processing sites from 76
companies, saving these companies approximately £4.75
million per annum.
All milk processing sites, regardless of size or Dairy UK
membership, are entitled to register with Dairy Energy Savings
Ltd.
