ENERGY & CARBON ASSESSMENTS

NET ZERO CARBON STRATEGY DEVLOPMENT

LOWER CARBON STORAGE ASSESEMENTS

What is ESOS? And why should I bother now?

“ESOS” is the acronym for the UK’s Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme and is a requirement for most UK businesses to complete. It requires a certified energy

“Lead Assessor” to survey your Scopes 1, 2 and 3 usage of energy and carbon footprint and generate methods and changes to ensure energy savings going forward.

Why do now? Although the current ESOS report is not due until December 5, 2023, it is much smarter and sustainable to do the assessment now for the following key reasons:

  1. Lead Assessors are in short supply and in the last two quarters of 2023 it will be near impossible to secure one

  2. Prices for doing the assessments in the latter half of next year will also be much higher (SCI currently has a brilliant early bird discount programme)

  3. The savings proposals that are embedded in the report can begin saving you hundreds or thousands of pounds NOW when energy prices are at historic highs

  4. Delaying such savings until next year is a most unsustainable practice, and may come to the attention of your customers, partners and lenders
