Introduction Of Mandatory Energy Performance Certificates In Jersey

Energy Performance Certificates ("EPCs"), long required in the UK and the EU, are not currently mandatory in Jersey, but this is set to change.

• end of 2023: complete review of the current EPC system
• end of 2024: develop and lodge legislation to make both domestic and commercial EPCs mandatory at the point of sale and rental;
