Q
Will the requirement for an ESOS energy audit be dropped now that we have left the EU and embarked on a new relationship with Europe?
A
ESOS is the EU Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme. In summary, it obliges larger businesses to conduct an energy audit which will identify energy saving opportunities. The deadline for Phase 2 of the scheme was 5 December 2019, so obligated businesses should all have completed their audits and submitted them to the regulator by that date.
