ESOS Phase 4 Starts now!

Just when you thought it was all over too! BUT, the good news is, small changes now can make a huge difference to your experience by the planned compliance date of 5th December 2027.

We say ‘planned’, as the exact requirements of Phase 4 are not yet decided and will require new legislation – and we know how that went for Phase 3! What we know currently is that:

• The Qualification Date for Phase 4 of ESOS is 31 December 2026 and the Compliance Date 5 December 2027. 
• The 12-month Reference Period for the energy data used is variable but must span the Qualification Date.
• Energy Audits may be carried out at any time in the four years up to the Compliance Date – that means it could be done any time now.

If the last 12 months has taught us anything, it is that there is still a significant way to go for many businesses to gather, record and fully understand their energy data. Why does this matter? Accurate, accessible data is critical to enabling businesses to make informed decisions that will ultimately change operations to improve performance and profit while reducing energy usage. At the same time supporting businesses on their road to Net Zero promoting long term sustainability.  

If your data wasn’t in great shape for ESOS Phase 3, you’re in good company - we supported over 80 clients with the preparation and submission of their ESOS notifications. Of these, only one had what we would consider to be readily accessible very good data.  A few had quality electricity and gas data but none had complete transport data.

You now have the opportunity to make sure your data is in great shape for ESOS Phase 4.
