Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS)

Complying with phase 2 of the ESOS legislation

Phase 2 of The Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) is a UK Government directive which requires all large commercial companies to undertake mandatory energy efficiency and energy use assessments. By 5th December 2019 qualifying organisations must carry out their ESOS assessment and notify the Environment Agency. Participants must then carry out a new ESOS assessment in each of the four-yearly compliance periods.

ESOS will require companies to:

• appoint a suitably qualified Lead Energy Assessor. The person must be registered with an approved body that has satisfied the PAS 51215:2014 criteria with the Environment Agency
• conduct an energy assessment accounting for at least 90% of total consumption, this includes transport, buildings and industrial processes
• undertake assessments that consider energy efficiency measures and make recommendations as to where implementation could make significant reductions
• notify the Environment Agency of the ESOS compliance report.
