With the aim of establishing concrete objectives to improve energy efficiency, the EU passed the 2012 EU Energy Efficiency Directive (2012/27/EU), which stipulates a 20% energy efficiency target to be met by 2020 by member states. Crucial for the private sector is Article 8, which requires all member states to introduce a mandatory requirement for all large enterprises to undertake energy audits every four years.

The Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) is the UK Government’s proposed approach to implementing the requirements set out in Article 8, and is currently being established by the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC).
