NEARLY three quarters of UK businesses run the risk of five-figure fines by missing the deadline to file their Energy Saving Opportunities Scheme (ESOS) audit.
A survey reveals 73% have not started these mandatory energy audits to comply with ESOS legislation by the deadline of 5 December 2015.
According to a new poll, conducted by Energy Live News, 61% of businesses surveyed have not yet appointed a lead assessor, with a minority of only 27% of businesses already ESOS compliant.
The poll also found that over half of the businesses surveyed have not yet appointed a lead assessor
Under the new initiative large organisations in the UK need to comply with the Regulations by measuring and reporting on energy use for a full 12 months across their sites or risk heavy fines of up to £50,000 plus extra charges of £500 per day (for up to 80 days).
