The Energy SavingsOpportunityScheme,orESOSas itis affectionatelyknown,isbignewsforbig
businessesinthe UK.On the one hand,itsa chance for businessestorefine andevaluate their
operational andcostefficiencies,andtobecome more profitable asa result.Onthe otherhand,its
anotherpiece of legislation,amongall the otherlegislationsyouneedtosortout,that couldsee
your businessleftoutinthe coldif youre notreadyto become compliant.
Around7,000 large businessesinthe UKare currentlyaffectedbythe ESOSscheme,andby mid-
2015 only85 had notifiedthe EnvironmentAgencyabouttheircompliance (1).Thissuggeststhat
manybusinesseswouldhave hadabit of a panic on theirhandstomeetthe original December
deadline,andprobablyagoodnumberhave alreadyrequestedanextension.
Whetheryoure abig businessownerorare just curious aboutwhatthe ESOSis goingto dofor the
UK, hereswhatyouneedtoknowabout the scheme andwhatcompliance reallyentails:
What is ESOS?
ESOS hasbeenstimulatedbyapiece of EU legislation, specifically the EuropeanUnion'sEnergy
EfficiencyDirective whichcame intoeffectinDecember2012. It is monitoredandadministeredby
the EnvironmentAgency,and wasputtogetherbythemalongwithDECC and the CarbonTrust (2).
ESOS aimsto reduce the amountof energyusedbylargerbusinesses,andinitial estimations bythe
CarbonTrust and DECC showthat withjusta 6 per centreductionfromthe UKs largestbusinesses,
the nationcouldsave enoughpowertotake care of 160,000 homes;around3TWh eachyear (2).
Who is affected?
ESOS isdesignedtoencourage biggerbusinessestobecome more efficient,bothintermsof energy
directly andintheiroperationsin general.Companieswhichare affectedwillusuallyemploymore
than 250 people,orwill have aturnoverof more than 贈38 million/50 million (3).Forinternational
corporations,if the UK arm of the businessexceedseitherof these thresholds,youre withinthe
remitof ESOS (3).
Governmentbodiesare notincluded,butcharitiesare. SMEsare not mandatorilyincluded,butcan
undertake the assessmentsand avail of the recommendationsinordertoimprove andincrease
efficiencieswithintheirbusiness.Businesseswhoare coveredbyISO50001 will notneedtocarry
out a full ESOSassessment (4).
What does it mean?
Simplyput,ESOSisa scheme whichencouragesbusinessesto assesstheirenergyusage,andto
make relevantefficiency improvements asa result.Thisisdeliveredby wayof a mandatoryannual
audit.Asa minimum,the assessmentmustprovide:
 A complete reviewof energyuse withinthe business,andthe intensityof energy use forthe
company
 An identificationof effective energysaving opportunities,quantifiedbycostsavingsalso
Assessmentscanonlybe conductedbyESOS approvedassessors,whichusually meansyouwill need
to employaconsultantor see whathelpyoucan getfrom yourenergysupplier.
Help from energy suppliers
Most of the bigsixenergysuppliersare offeringsome formof helptobusinesseslookingtocomply
withESOS.npower,forinstance,are offeringassistance totheirelectricityandgascustomers (7),by
wayof:
 Extractingelectricityandgassupplydatafor auditpurposes
 Offeringadvice onotherfuelssuchastransport
 Provingsupportforthe auditand identificationof energy efficiency opportunities
 Ensuringall the necessaryrequirementsare fulfilled
 Assistance withimplementingpostaudit recommendations
Undoubtedly npowerare notthe onlymajor fuel supplierwillingtoofferthisimportantand
significantassistance withESOS.If youare a larger businessandare lookingforaneasyroute to
compliance,youwoulddowell tospeaktoyourfuel supplier firstandsee whatexpertadvice and
supportisavailable fromthem.
