Options for strengthening ESOS under consideration
The Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) was established in 2014 as a mandatory assessment that most large organisations in the UK must undertake every four years to help them identify ways to manage energy use more efficiently.
Following public consultation, the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy is currently considering different ways to improve and strengthen the scheme.
In its submission to the consultation, IEMA set out support for proposals to bring medium-sized organisations under the scheme to help drive wider efforts for managing energy use more efficiently.
Our submission also put forward the case for aligning ESOS with other initiatives to improve their effectiveness, including the government’s mandatory carbon reporting requirement.
