Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS)

Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) is a compulsory energy audit scheme which affects all large companies in the United Kingdom and across the European Union (EU). Large enterprises are defined as:

  • Greater than 250 employees
  • OR turnover exceeding £44.1m
  • AND balance sheet exceeding £37.9m

SMEs may also qualify for ESOS is they are part of a corporate group that contains at least one entity which meets either criterion statement above.

ESOS runs in 4-year cycles. We are currently in ESOS Phase 3, with the compliance deadline due on 5th December 2023. Any energy audits conducted between December 2019 and December 2023 can count towards compliance.

Companies must conduct energy audits on a representative sample of its operations and must account for at least 90% of total energy consumption. This includes buildings, transport and all other processes.

Achieving sustainability in your organization

Net Zero Achieving Sustainability

Net Zero is an ambitious and required target for governments, institutions, and companies to intensely reduce global greenhouse gas emissions and prevent the damaging effects of climate change.

Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting is a legal obligation for all large organisations to disclose their energy and carbon emissions within their annual Director’s Report, or separate sustainability report.

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is an integral part of planning and development.

Energy performance certificates are a rating scheme to summarise the energy efficiency of buildings.
