ESOS Phase 2: Summary of Updates
The Environment Agency has recently published several updates in their ESOS newsletter for Phase 2 preparation. Our Operations Director, Phil Bilyard provides a summary below:
Bullet points for ESOS Phase 2: Issue 1, August 2018
One of the most significant changes to ISO 50001 is the introduction of the High Level Structure, Annex SL, which is shared by all new and revised ISO standards. This is to ensure that all ISO management standards have the same look and feel to enable greater integration between systems of different disciplines. There are ten core clauses within the HLS, these are as follows:
- Clause 1 – Scope
- Clause 2 – Normative References
- Clause 3 – Terms and Definitions
- Clause 4 – Context of the Organisation
- Clause 5 – Leadership
- Clause 6 – Planning
- Clause 7 – Support
- Clause 8 – Operation
- Clause 9 – Performance Evaluation
- Clause 10 – Improvement
Bullet points for ESOS Phase 2: Issue 2, October 2018
Phase 1 Civil Penalties
Under the ESOS Phase 1, the fines that have been served to organisations for not complying with requirements have been published. Fines range from £1,560 to £45,000.
Compliant
Current compliance listings under ESOS as of the 31st May 2018 have been published with 7,113 organisations or entities listed as compliant under ESOS.
Energy Audits and Reporting Including ESOS
The department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) has commissioned external research on the effectiveness of energy audits. A telephone survey will be conducted for a small number of organisations from October to December 2018 to determine effectiveness.
Phase 2 Qualification and Compliance
The next registration of compliance date is the 5th December 2019. Energy audits can commence henceforth and at least one years’ worth of data can be used for energy measurement with the data coming from 6th December 2014 to 5th December 2019. Definitive qualification, total energy consumption and areas of significant energy use cannot be made until after the 31st December 2018.
