Mandatory energy audit as per UK ESOS

Government established ESOS to implement Article 8 (4-6) of the EU Energy Efficiency Directive (2012/27/EU). The ESOS Regulations 2014 give effect to the scheme.

ESOS is a mandatory energy assessment scheme for organisations in the UK that meet the qualification criteria. The Environment Agency is the UK scheme administrator.

Organisations that qualify for ESOS must carry out ESOS assessments every 4 years. These assessments are audits of the energy used by their buildings, industrial processes and transport to identify cost-effective energy saving measures.

Organisations must notify the Environment Agency by a set deadline that they have complied with their ESOS obligations. You do not need to register as the Environment Agency do not expect to hear from organisations until 2015 when they are fully compliant.

By 5 December 2015 qualifying organisations must carry out their ESOS assessment and notify the Environment Agency.

Participants must then carry out an ESOS assessment in each subsequent 4-year compliance period, ending on 5 December 2019, 2023 and so on.

You do not need to register as the Environment Agency do not expect to hear from organisations until 2015 when they are fully compliant.

Are within the ESOS scope the following companies :

any UK company that either:
- employs 250 or more people, or
- has an annual turnover in excess of 50 million euro (£38,937,777), and an annual balance sheet total in excess of 43 million euro (£33,486,489)
