Energy Saving Opportunity Scheme (ESOS)

Energy Saving Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) regulations have been in force since 17 July 2014 and require large entities in the UK to carry out compulsory energy saving assessments covering their buildings, industrial processes and transportation of all UK operations. These assessments calculate total energy consumption, audit this information and also set out where energy savings can be made, thereby supporting climate change mitigation.

Who has to comply with ESOS?

Any undertaking which is large or is part of a corporate group containing a large undertaking must comply with ESOS. This covers companies, partnerships, trusts and unincorporated entities carrying on a trade of business whether or not this is with a view to making a profit.
