The UK government’s Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) requires large organisations to measure their total energy consumption and undertake energy audits of at least 90% of their energy usage every four years. Organisations need to get their final report signed off by an Approved Lead Assessor and to notify the Environment Agency of their compliance. We are helping our clients to understand their obligations and to make compliance work for them. For some it’s about ticking the box, so we provide the Lead Assessor once they’ve done everything. Other companies see this as an opportunity to make some bigger changes.

The UK Government’s CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme (CRC) is a levy on carbon emissions. The CRC requires comprehensive data collection and reporting and the annual purchase of carbon allowances at a cost each year of around 5-10% of energy spend. Carbon Smart’s approach avoids last minute rushes and unnecessary compliance risks. We provide support and advice to a wide range of organisations and can provide CRC internal audits.
