Everything about The London Climate Change Agency totally explained
The
London Climate Change Agency Limited (LCCA), a municipal company owned by the
London Development Agency (LDA) that works in partnership with private sector companies (notably
EDF Energy) to design, finance, construct, own and operate
decentralised low energy and zero-carbon projects for
London, as well as providing services to others. It operates in the areas of energy, water, waste and transport.
The Agency was launched on 20 June
2005 to implement a
manifesto commitment by
Ken Livingstone in the
2004 elections for the
Mayor of London. Its budget for 2006-07 is £815,000, 63% of which is funded directly by the LDA
(External Link
). The Chief Executive Officer is Allan Jones, who previously led the development of the pioneering
sustainable community energy system in
Woking. The London Climate Change Agency plans to create a similar system for London.
As of 2006, London produces 7% of the
UK's carbon emissions (External Link). The LCCA is seen as one of the key vehicles for delivering the Mayor's energy strategy
(External Link), which targets cuts in these emissions of 20% by 2010 and 60% by 2050 (although achieving the first of these targets is unlikely). The Agency is also expected to play a role in ensuring that the
London Olympic games are the first to be powered by low carbon technology
(External Link).
