With ESOS Phase 3 compliance now on the horizon, the Government is planning some significant changes to the Scheme – including requirements for organisations to disclose their ESOS data publicly and carry out an associated net-zero assessment.

What would these changes mean for your business in practice? What are the most effective routes to ESOS Phase 3 compliance? And how can your business seize the “Opportunity” of the Scheme to support your decarbonisation goals?

This 45-minute masterclass sought to answer all of those questions and more. The masterclass was based around two expert presentations which break down the ESOS Phase 3 compliance process and outline potential changes to the Scheme. The session culminated with a live audience Q&A, allowing viewers to have their ESOS and net-zero questions answered by our experts. 

Inspired Energy’s client optimisation manager Emma Hird was the first presenter, and she was followed by a representative from the UK Government’s Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) – their head of business and industrial energy efficiency, tax and reporting, Gary Shanahan. This session was be chaired by edie’s senior reporter Sarah George.

Discussion points:

  • Changes to ESOS Phase 3: What is the Government planning?
  • Phase 1 and 2 recap: Key learnings for energy managers
  • How to align your energy auditing with net-zero goals
