MAKE CHANGE POSSIBLE.

The ESOS phase 3 compliance date has been pushed back to 5th June 2024, having previously been 5th December 2023.

Despite the extension, we urge organisations to act now to ensure that they secure a lead assessor well ahead of the revised date and complete their submission on time.

In addition to the deadline extension, the following changes have been made to ESOS phase 3:

• Requirement for a summary template to include compliance information in the ESOS report
• Requirement to submit additional data in the compliance notification (as set out in Annex A)
• Requirement to include an energy intensity metric in ESOS reports
• A change to the de minimis exemption so that participants’ Significant Energy Consumption covers at least 95% of their Total Energy Consumption (as compared to 90% in Phase 2)
• Requirement for ESOS reports to provide more information on next steps for implementing recommendations
• Requirement for participants to set a target or action plan following the Phase 3 compliance deadline, on which they will be required to report against annually
• Requirement to share ESOS reports with subsidiaries

Establishing ESOS compliance sooner rather than later has numerous advantages.

The energy-saving initiatives revealed in the ESOS surveys can provide you with practical and cost-effective ways to reduce your carbon footprint, consumption, and energy costs.
