    Reforming the business energy efficiency tax landscape

    At the Summer Budget 2015, the UK Government announced that it would undertake a review of business energy tax policy to improve and simplify the landscape.

    The HM Treasury has launched a consultation seeking views and evidence on proposals to reform the business energy efficiency tax landscape and associated regulations, including the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme and Climate Change Agreements, and energy and carbon reporting including links to the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS).

    The review may lead to future changes in the policy landscape but does not affect the present requirements of the schemes. Participants therefore need to continue to meet their obligations as normal until any changes are introduced.

    The consultation ran up until 11:45 a.m on 9th November 2015.

    Ref: 1853PDF, 820KB, 30 pages.

    Published on the 28th September 2015.

    Initial publication by the Environment Agency. Uses some text from Department of Energy and Climate Change’s (DECC) guidance document – Guide to ESOS, Version 1.1, September 2014 and supersedes the DECC guidance illustrated below.

    The Department of Energy & Climate Change (DECC) Energy Saving Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) guide has been superseded by the Environment Agency’s ESOS compliance guidance version 01 which was published on the 17 February 2015. In the event of any conflict or ambiguity between the Guides, please follow the Environment Agency’s compliance guidance.

    The EA guide gives a comprehensive overview of ESOS and how to comply. It details:

    • which organisations qualify for this mandatory scheme
    • what qualifying organisations need to do to comply
    • how organisations should notify the Environment Agency that they are compliant
    • when the compliance deadline is what the penalties are for not complying

    The DECC Guide has been superseded by Version 3 attached: – ‘Complying-with-the-Energy-Savings-Opportunity-Scheme-Version-03-by-the-Environment-Agency-ESOS-Lead-Assessors’
