Headline – Performance Against Current Targets
- The 2018 compliance year VEEC surrender is due next month. At this time 6.1M VEECs will be required to be surrendered.
- The current total of 11.3M registered VEECs mean that 5.2M VEECs will remain for surrender against the 2019 target of 6.3M.
- That means that activities generating 1.1M VEECs still need to be undertaken prior to January 2020 to meet the 2019 target.
- The 2020 target is another 6.5M VEECS.
- While meeting the target for 2019 appears academic, meeting the increased 2020 target at current creation rates will not be possible.
- With 92 creation weeks remaining, and a total of 7.4M VEECs required, this equates to an average of 80k VEECs created every single week between now and the end of 2020.
- Creation rates have been trending down since August 2018.
- Current 3-week average is 66k per week. Average for 2019 to date is only 62k.
- This means that forecasts predict that created VEECs will be below required target by the second half of next year.
- Post 2020 targets are being discussed at the moment with further increased targets likely.
