With ESOS deadlines fast approaching the need to select and engage an ESOS Lead Assessor is becoming more and more urgent. Typically the ESOS auditing process takes around two to three months to complete and even businesses that plan to carry out their own audits will need a certified ESOS Lead Assessor to vouch for the competency of their report. Therefore, if you are one of the few that are yet to take action then you need to do so, and as soon as possible.
Earlier this month the UK Government announced several cuts to green energy subsidies in a bid to drive down costs for consumers. Amber Rudd, Energy and Climate Change Secretary, stated that ‘reducing energy bills for British families and businesses and meeting energy goals in the most cost-effective way’ are to be their priorities and that the measures set out will do just that.
