Skip to main contentAside from being a mandatory scheme for qualifying organisations, the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) presents a valuable opportunity to cut operating costs and carbon emissions, to help your business remain profitable and competitive.
What is ESOS?
Managed by regional Environment Agencies on behalf of the government, ESOS is designed to support businesses to reduce energy costs through decarbonisation. The scheme is mandatory for organisations that meet either one of the following criteria:
- 250 employees or larger
- Annual turnover exceeding £39 million and a balance sheet exceeding £33.5 million
Please note: If one subsidiary of a corporate group qualifies, then ESOS will apply to the entire group.
What are the benefits?
The scheme mandates large organisations to undertake energy efficiency audits during each phase of the scheme. These audits provide costed recommendation to save energy and money.
ESOS also requires eligible businesses to create and maintain an ESOS action plan, that not only encourages reductions to energy consumption, it also enables efficient and effective compliance that delivers a host of cost – saving benefits.
What are my obligations?
Qualifying organisations must produce a detailed report on their energy usage, along with an ESOS action plan and an annual progress report.
As the scheme is mandatory, the fines and penalties imposed on non-compliance or providing incorrect information are up to £90,000 so it is important to make sure that your ESOS compliance is handled correctly.
