Last month, the Department of Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) announced it would be extending the ESOS Phase 3 compliance deadline from 5 December 2023 to 5 June 2024.
Whilst the deadline extension doesn’t affect the ESOS qualification criteria, there have also been several other updates to the scheme. For example, further data will be required within ESOS reports, such as an energy intensity metric, and the reports must also provide greater details on how and when recommendations should be implemented.
What will all of these latest developments to ESOS mean for your business in practice? What are the most effective routes to ESOS Phase 3 compliance ahead of the new deadline? And how can your business seize the “Opportunity” of the Scheme to support your decarbonisation goals?
This 45-minute masterclass will seek to answer all of those questions and more. The masterclass will be based around expert presentations which break down the ESOS Phase 3 compliance updates and provide top tips to make the most of the scheme. The session will culminate with a live audience Q&A, allowing you to have your ESOS Phase 3 questions answered by our experts.
Discussion points:
- Phase 3 updates: Everything you need to know
- Aligning ESOS energy audits with Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR)
- How ESOS can accelerate progress towards net-zero goals
