The Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) is in its 3^rd phase and the deadline was extended until 5th August 2024. Put simply the scheme requires companies of a certain size to undergo an energy audit to calculate and report on a company’s energy use and efficiency. The requirement to complete an ESOS assessment reoccurs every 4 years. Even if you have missed the deadline we can still help with your communication with The Envronment Agency and with susequent submissions to avoid further potential penalties.

Are you in scope?

If your company had to comply with ESOS Phase 1 or Phase 2 then it most likely need to comply with ESOS Phase 3. Companies that are required to comply are defined as a ‘large undertaking’. They key criteria being if the business either:

• Employs 250 or more people.
• Has an annual turnover exceeding €50 million (£44 million) and an annual balance sheet with a total of over €43 million (£38 million).

What's new?

Broadly ESOS Phase 3 follows a similar process to Phase 2, however following the UK Government’s ESOS consultation there are a few key changes with ESOS 3. This includes:

• The % of total energy consumption that can be excluded from reporting has dropped from 10% to 5%.
• The addition of an energy intensity metric in the reports
• A requirement for ESOS reports to provide greater detail in their next steps for implementing recommendations
• A new standardised template for including compliance information
• A requirement for participants to create an action plan which they will report against in Phase 4
