Companies that were granted an ESOS
energy audit reprieve last year will soon have to face the music as the revised
deadline approaches.
The UK government’s Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS)
was launched in July 2013 in response to the EU’s Energy Efficiency Directive,
which stated that all its member states must create a programme of regular
energy audits for large companies.
As the legal deadline of 5th December 2015 drew
near, the Environment Agency was aware that very few qualifying companies had
confirmed compliance and that it was not realistic for the remaining
organisations to do so in time. In November, the Agency issued an amendment
stating that non-compliant organisations would not receive fines as long as they
could confirm an audit had been carried out by 29th January 2016.
With that date now just over a week away, those companies
that have not been audited face a race against time to achieve compliance and
avoid a fine of up to £50,000.
Even if your business isn’t eligible for an ESOS audit, an
energy analysis could highlight the potential for significant savings in electric motor-driven
processes such as pumps, HVAC
systems, conveyors and mixers.
Gibbons Engineering Group are experts in improving the
energy efficiency of motor-powered applications with the addition of variable-speed
drives. In fact, we’re a founder member of the Authorized Value Provider
programme, which means we’re one of only a handful of companies approved to
supply, install and offer specialist services for ABB drives.
