Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS)

Complying with new legislation

The Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) is a new UK Government directive which requires all large commercial companies to undertake mandatory energy efficiency and energy use assessments. 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 4-year compliance period.

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
