Unlocking £5 million in savings with ESOS compliance

Once a major fossil-fuel-intensive energy provider, this global energy leader has been undergoing a significant green transformation. When they needed to comply with the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS), they saw it as more than just a compliance task. They used the process to accelerate energy efficiency and fast-track their sustainability goals.

What you need to know

Zenergi’s Energy Team conducted in-depth ESOS assessments and energy audits across the client’s 17 sites, which included their extensive portfolio of renewable energy installations and marine transport operations.
The client’s legal structure is complex, with varying ownership across different assets, but Zenergi provided strategic guidance to streamline the compliance process in the most efficient way.

Why it matters

The team managed the entire process, from data collection and auditing to compliance reporting, providing registered lead assessors to ensure smooth compliance with ESOS requirements.

The introduction of Phase 3 of ESOS in 2024 added a new layer of compliance, with the inclusion of the Annual Review, which requires a three-year energy efficiency strategy and annual progress reports.

Zenergi continues to work closely with the client to meet the requirements of ESOS Phase 3. By moving beyond basic regulatory requirements and embracing proactive energy management, the client is able to reduce energy costs, lower their carbon footprint, and enhance their reputation as a global leader in the transition to green energy.

Our client’s story shows how ESOS compliance can be an opportunity to drive lasting change, not just a box to tick. By uncovering energy-saving opportunities, your organisation can achieve significant cost and carbon reductions while strengthening long-term energy resilience.
