» ESOS lifeline for non-compliant companies
Thursday, 12 November 2015
Organisations that will be unable to meet the deadline for
ESOS (Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme) audit submissions have been handed a
reprieve by the Environment Agency.
The legal deadline of 5th December is still in
place, but last month the Agency issued an amendment stating that companies
will “not usually” receive fines as long as they notify them of compliance by
29th January.
The amendment comes after a report in September revealed
that only 1 per cent of qualifying companies had carried out an ESOS audit and
that assessors were unlikely to be able to manage the outstanding number of
audits by 5th December.
The ESOS initiative was introduced by the UK government to
meet the demands of the EU’s Energy Efficiency Directive, which requires its member
states to have large businesses conduct energy audits.
The Agency hopes that the extended deadline will spur energy
managers into action and arrange an ESOS audit by the end of January.
For decades, Gibbons Engineering Group has been helping its
clients improve the energy efficiency of electric motor-driven
processes with the addition of ABB drives. So
why wait for the audit? Get more information by calling Drives Manager Alan
