New Data Reveals 38% Have Not Submitted ESOS Phase 3 Action Plan
The Environment Agency have now published a list of companies that submitted an ESOS Phase 3 Action Plan. Action Plans are a new requirement introduced for companies that are obligated under Phase 3 of the Energy Saving Opportunities Regulations. They outline the ESOS recommendations and energy saving measures that organisations have implemented, or plan to implement, between December 2023 and December 2027. Companies were required to submit their Action Plans to the MESOS portal by 5th March 2025.
Analysis on the published data reveals that of the 9,489 companies that submitted a Phase 3 ESOS compliance notification, 62% subsequently submitted an ESOS Action Plan. Of those who submitted an Action Plan, 87% stated that they planned to implement energy efficiency measures before the end of the compliance period, whilst the other 13% of companies submitted Action Plans with no proposed measures to be implemented.
Companies are now preparing for the next step of compliance in the form of an ESOS Action Plan Progress Update, due by 5th December 2025. A company's Progress Update must outline the progress made between December 2024 and 2025 against the actions companies proposed to implement in their original Action Plan.
A timely and accurate submission of all requirements is crucial to comply with Phase 3. The Environment Agency has indicated that failure to do so may result in enforcement action.
If you have missed the original Action Plan deadline, need support with preparing your Progress Update, or are looking for a quote to prepare for ESOS Phase 4 (deadline 5th December 2027), Beyondly can help you achieve compliance with confidence.
