How we can help your business comply with the new mandatory energy assessment scheme.

We offer an end to end solution for ESOS through our energy efficiency company Matrix in partnership with the The Carbon Trust.

The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) has recently introduced the Energy Saving Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) in response to the requirement for all Member States of the European Union to implement the Energy Efficiency Directive. ESOS is administrated by the Environment Agency.

Who does ESOS affect?

ESOS applies to large UK undertakings and their corporate groups.

It mainly affects businesses but can also apply to some public sector

or not for profit organisations such as universities, which meet the

following criteria:

• 250 or more employees

• employs less than 250 people but has an annual turnover in excess

of 50 million euro and an annual balance sheet in excess of 43

million euro

What happens if you don’t comply?

Failure to comply with ESOS can result in fines of up to £50,000, with

potential additional fines for each day of non compliance.

What do I need to do to comply?

To become ESOS compliant you’ll need to carry out an ESOS

assessment which includes:

• Measuring your organisation’s total energy consumption

for buildings, industrial processes and transport.

• Identifying areas of significant energy consumption.

• Reviewing energy consumption and complete site audits

to identify practical efficiency recommendations.

• Reporting compliance to the Environment Agency.

If you qualify for ESOS and your organisation is fully

covered by ISO 50001, you don’t need to carry out an ESOS

assessment. You just need to notify the Environment Agency

that you are compliant with ESOS.

Your ESOS assessment needs to be carried out by a Lead

Assessor, who can either help with the whole process or

simply sign off the assessment. ESOS works in four yearly

compliance phases, so you’ll need to submit your first

notification of compliance by 5 December 2015, and if

applicable, every four years afterwards.

How we can help

We offer an end to end solution for ESOS, from the initial

assessment, through to recommending how you can make

efficiency savings. Once your ESOS assessment is complete

we will work with you to reduce your energy consumption by

improving plant operation or installing new equipment, with

many of the savings guaranteed.

ESOS assessments are provided by Matrix, our energy

efficiency specialist company, who are working in partnership

with The Carbon Trust. The Carbon Trust are

independent experts on carbon reduction and resource

efficiency and are mission driven to accelerate the move to

a sustainable low carbon economy. We have partnered with

The Carbon Trust because they have extensive energy and

carbon auditing expertise. As an independent

not for profit organisation, they’re able to provide compliance

and a value for money solution.

We work with a range of organisations both in the UK and

internationally and use our expert knowledge of energy

technologies, assets and systems to help you reduce your

energy consumption, generate your own energy and even

market your excess energy. So, whatever the outcome of your

ESOS audit, we will continue to work with you to help deliver

the efficiency recommendations with a solution that’s right

for your business.
