ESOS isn’t just another regulatory tick box

It’s a mandatory UK scheme requiring large organisations to audit their energy use across buildings, industrial processes and transport – helping uncover real, actionable opportunities to cut waste and boost efficiency

Non-compliance can be costly

The Environment Agency (EA) can issue significant penalties up to £90,000 for failing to meet ESOS requirements.

ESOS Phase 4 is already underway – are you captured by the scheme?

Proposed changes to align ESOS qualification thresholds with Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) will not go ahead for Phase 4, meaning the existing thresholds still apply.

See if you meet the qualification criteria for Phase 4. If so, now’s the time to get ahead.

By choosing Inspired for your ESOS compliance needs, you’ll be in safe hands. We’ve completed around 1,000 submissions and over 3,900 site audits on behalf of our clients.
