Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) qualification
Use your ESOS compliance to shape your net zero strategy.
Eligible organisations must review their total energy consumption across buildings, industrial processes and transport. This begins with conducting surveys to identify energy saving opportunities, followed by publishing an action plan and reporting progress annually.
Non-compliance can lead to penalties up to £90,000 from the Environment Agency (EA).
*Progress update deadline*
Your reporting commitments
ESOS Phase 3 participants now face annual reporting commitments. You must submit an action plan and progress updates for the four years following the compliance period, from 6 Dec 2023 to 5 Dec 2027.
Phase 4 of the compliance scheme is also underway. Secure a lead assessor ahead of the deadline to ensure timely compliance.
Time to gain an advantage
ESOS offers a chance for long-term energy, cost and carbon savings. Savvy energy managers will leverage annual reporting obligations to drive meaningful change. Plus, by starting your Phase 4 energy surveys now, you can stay ahead of the curve.
