The Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) Phase 3 deadline has come and gone, but for many businesses, the work is far from over.
From ensuring Action Plans are in place to preparing for Phase 4, compliance is an ongoing process that requires strategic planning and execution.
At TEST Consulting, we’ve guided numerous organisations through ESOS reporting, helping them not just comply, but also unlock long-term energy efficiency benefits.
If you’re still navigating the next steps, here’s what you need to know.
Have You Filed Your ESOS Phase 3 Action Plan?
For businesses that did not achieve full compliance before the extended deadline, submitting an ESOS Action Plan was a requirement.
This outlines the steps your organisation is taking to comply and implement energy-saving measures.
If you haven’t submitted yours yet, time is running out. Failing to comply can result in significant penalties, so it’s crucial to take action now.
Looking Ahead: Are You Ready for Phase 4?
While Phase 3 compliance is wrapping up, Phase 4 is already on the horizon, bringing key changes, including:
- Lower qualification thresholds – More businesses may need to comply.
- Net Zero alignment – A stronger focus on carbon reduction, not just energy efficiency.
- Mandatory implementation plans – Clearer accountability for following through on energy-saving recommendations.
- Enhanced reporting requirements – Businesses will need to provide more granular data on their energy consumption and reduction efforts.
