Consultation on funding of The Scottish Energy Performance Certificate Register

Results updated 28 Jun 2017

Following analysis of Consultation responses, a report was submitted to Ministers with recommendations. The Consultation Report and the accompanying Final Business and Regulatory Impact Assessment are published below.

Consultation responses were generally in favour of proposals to maintain the funding of the Scottish Energy Performance Certificate Register via lodgement fee and to amend that fee.  However, a range of comments were also received on both the increase in charge and the nature of the current register operations, expressing a desire for review and improvement.

Accordingly, regulations will be laid to amend the statutory fees as proposed. These will provide a period of three months prior to introduction of change.  In recognition of the range of comments made in respect of the operation and function of the register, a review of operations will be undertaken within two years and prior to any further change in lodgement fees.
