("Utilitywise" or the "Group")
New ESOS customers
Utilitywise PLC (AIM:UTW), the leading independent utility cost
management consultancy, is pleased to announce that, to date, it
has signed up more than 150 new clients to its ESOS ("Energy
Savings Opportunity Scheme") compliance service. These clients are
new to Utilitywise since the launch of the service, and include
well-known brands such as Which?, Zoopla Property Group and DNV GL
(Det Norske Veritas Limited). The last two months in particular
have seen strong customer on-boarding, with 71 organisations
signing up to begin the process.
Utilitywise launched the service last year, to help qualifying
businesses comply with the scheme. ESOS is a mandatory energy
assessment scheme, originated by the EU, for organisations in the
UK that meet the qualification criteria:
-- More than 250 employees OR
-- A turnover of more than GBP38,937,777 AND
-- An annual balance sheet total of more than GBP33,486,489
Qualifying organisations must carry out ESOS assessments every
four years. These assessments are audits of the energy used by
their buildings, industrial processes and transport, to identify
cost-effective energy saving measures.
Ashley Guise, Managing Director of Utilitywise's Corporate
Division, commented:
"There are nearly 14,000 businesses that should have started on
the road to ESOS compliancy by 5(th) December, but by our
calculations less than 5% of those eligible have committed to
starting the process.
"Utilitywise has recently completed the scheme itself and the
provision of this service both broadens the scope of our client
base and our service provision, whilst demonstrating our
familiarity of the changing regulatory landscape.
"Just as importantly, with the right partner in place, initial
compliance activities can be the first investment on the path to
energy savings and cost reduction for businesses, through
implementation of the energy efficiency measures identified."
