ESOS
ESOS
ESOS stands for the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme and is a mandatory energy assessment and audit scheme. We have been successfully providing ESOS Lead Assessor and Assessment services since the initial phase in 2014/15.
Does ESOS apply to my organisation
ESOS applies to organisations that have a UK-registered company that meets either or both of the following criteria:
- Employ 250 or more people (including part-time)
- Have an annual turnover >£44million and a balance sheet >38million
Organisations that are part of a group or have foreign ownership are still required to take part if one of the UK subsidiaries meets the criteria. There are exceptions, mainly if income comes exclusively from public funding.
As a mandatory scheme, failure to comply can lead to significant fines and reputational damage.
What does ESOS involve
- Appoint a registered Lead Assessor
- Assess the total UK annual energy use, including energy used for buildings, processes and company transport
- Undertake energy audits to identify opportunities for reducing consumption
- Produce an ESOS assessment report and evidence pack for sign off
- Provide information to the regulator to confirm compliance
- Produce action plans and progress reports
How we can help
We can provide a registered lead assessor and all the expertise needed to undertake all the assessment work required to ensure you fully comply, including
- Assisting with identifying, collating and analysing energy data
- Undertaking site energy audits to the requirements
- Producing a compliant assessment and evidence pack
- Presenting the results to senior teams
- Assisting with all compliance notifications
Our experience allows us to provide a value-for-money service. But we also provide added value by making practical recommendations and advice on implementation. The potential savings more than pay for our fee.
Who we have helped
Over 80 sites were visited in the last phase, including household retailers (Dunelm, Sainsbury), manufacturing, construction, sport, education, transport and logistics. We identified opportunities that could save 16,000 tonnes of CO2e emissions.
