Government ESOS, or Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme, is a UK initiative requiring large enterprises to assess their energy usage and identify opportunities for efficiency improvements. It mandates eligible organizations to conduct energy audits every four years, highlighting potential energy-saving measures. The scheme aims to enhance energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, and promote sustainable practices. Participants must submit compliance reports detailing their energy-saving actions. By encouraging businesses to adopt greener practices, ESOS contributes to national energy goals and environmental sustainability. Non-compliance may result in penalties, emphasising the government's commitment to fostering a more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly business landscape.
