ESOS phase 3 deadline extended
ESOS phase 3 compliance deadline extended by six months to 5 June 2024
Following consultation by the Department of Energy Security and Net Zero, the Environment Agency announced the introduction of some new requirements as part of ESOS phase 3. These changes will affect all current ESOS applications as well as new applications.
Organisations that qualify for ESOS in phase 3 will be required to comply with the new requirements when they come into force and in order to ensure there is reasonable time for participants to comply fully with the updated legislation and for assessors to carry out assessments, participants in phase 3 will be allowed until 5 June 2024 to provide a notification of compliance (previously 5 December 2023).
ESOS Qualification remains the same
Although the compliance date has been extended, the qualification thresholds and date remain unchanged. Therefore, any company or group that met the criteria as a large company for ESOS on December 31, 2022 (employing at least 250 people OR having both an annual turnover in excess of £44 million and an annual balance sheet total in excess of £38 million) are still required to comply with ESOS phase 3.
