ESOS (Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme) Phase 3 brought some significant changes, but are you making the most of them?

As organisations begin looking ahead to ESOS Phase 4, it's worth revisiting some of the key changes introduced during the current phase:

✔️ Action Plans became mandatory, requiring businesses to outline how they'll implement energy-saving opportunities.

✔️ Progress Updates were introduced, with two board-approved submissions demonstrating what's actually been delivered.

✔️ The de minimis threshold increased, meaning audits must now cover at least 95% of total energy consumption, up from 90%.

✔️ Greater transparency, with Action Plans and Progress Updates published by the Environment Agency.

Perhaps the biggest shift is that ESOS is no longer just about compliance. It's an opportunity to demonstrate progress, strengthen energy management and show stakeholders that your organisation is taking meaningful action.

With the final Phase 3 Progress Update due later this year and Phase 4 just around the corner, now is the ideal time to start planning ahead.

If you'd like support with ESOS, energy audits or developing a wider energy management strategy, our team is here to help: https://test-consulting.co.uk/contact-us/

Energy management is about more than reducing consumption; it's about creating a long-term competitive advantage.

We're proud to be supporting Thorn Lighting, a globally trusted supplier of indoor and outdoor luminaires and integrated controls, on its energy management journey.

Through our ongoing partnership, TEST helps implement and maintain a structured, systematic approach to energy management, supporting Thorn Lighting's continued ISO 50001 certification and commitment to continual improvement.

As Mark Helm, Quality Assurance & Lean Six Sigma Manager at Thorn Lighting, explains:

“We recognised the need to take a more structured approach to energy management, and working with TEST Consulting, John Swallow became part of our team to ensure a rigorous and systematic process that delivered best-in-class results. We’re incredibly proud of our BSI certification and the recognition of being one of the first UK lighting manufacturers to achieve it gives us a real competitive edge.”

At TEST, we work alongside organisations to embed effective energy management into day-to-day operations, helping them improve efficiency, reduce costs, strengthen compliance and achieve meaningful, measurable results.

If you're looking to take a more structured approach to energy management, we'd love to discuss how TEST can help.

Strong Partnerships Create Stronger Outcomes.

At TEST, we believe the best sustainability solutions come from working together. That's why we're proud to partner with True Group, an energy and sustainability specialist that helps organisations reduce costs, cut carbon and make smarter, data-driven decisions through expert advice and innovative technology.

By combining our expertise, we're helping organisations move beyond energy procurement and into practical, measurable action.

Together, we support businesses with energy auditing, metering and reporting, ISO 50001 and ESOS compliance, carbon footprinting and decarbonisation planning, as well as solar performance optimisation, creating a joined-up approach that improves efficiency, reduces costs and delivers long-term value.

Chelsee Worth, Partnership Manager, True Group, said:

"As businesses face increasing pressure to manage costs and reduce carbon emissions, partnerships like this are more important than ever. Together with TEST, we're providing organisations with the support, insight and expertise they need to build a more sustainable future."

A big thank you to Chelsee Worth and the entire True Group team for their continued collaboration.

Together, we're helping organisations achieve sustainability through efficiency.

The next ESOS (Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme) deadline is approaching fast…

The final Phase 3 Progress Update must be submitted by 5th December, 2026. Just 26 days later (31st December), organisations reach the Phase 4 qualification date, leaving very little time between closing one phase and preparing for the next.

For organisations, ESOS isn't just about meeting a deadline. It's an opportunity to review energy performance, identify cost-saving opportunities and build a stronger foundation for wider carbon reduction and sustainability goals.

Starting early gives you time to gather accurate data, assess energy use, identify opportunities and avoid the pressure of a last-minute compliance exercise.

At TEST, we support organisations through every stage of the ESOS process - from qualification and audits to reporting and identifying practical energy-saving opportunities that deliver long-term value.

The TEST team celebrated being Highly Commended in the Regional Consultancy of the Year category at the Yorkshire Energy Efficiency Awards 2026 last Thursday.

This award recognises consultancies that help organisations improve energy performance through advice, innovation and measurable results. As businesses continue to navigate rising energy costs, carbon reduction targets and increasingly complex legislation, recognising excellence in energy consultancy has never been more important.

At TEST, we turn energy data into meaningful action for businesses across the UK. Through energy management, carbon reduction strategies, solar performance optimisation and smart energy solutions, we create and implement strategies to reduce energy costs, cut carbon emissions, optimise solar assets and improve long-term performance.

Being recognised by the Yorkshire Energy Efficiency Awards is a testament to the expertise, dedication and hard work of our entire team.

It was a pleasure to celebrate the innovation and collaboration driving the UK's energy transition, and we're pleased to be part of an industry making a real difference.

Can you trust your carbon data?

As sustainability reporting comes under increasing scrutiny, measuring your emissions is no longer enough. Organisations need confidence that their carbon data is accurate, transparent and evidence-based.

That's where carbon verification comes in. At TEST, we help organisations build confidence in their carbon data through independent verification, robust data and evidence-led insight.

Independent carbon verification helps organisations validate their emissions data, strengthen ESG reporting, support compliance and build confidence with customers, investors and supply chain partners.

In our latest blog, we explore:

✔ What carbon verification is
✔ Why it matters for sustainability and Net Zero strategies
✔ The difference between carbon reporting and carbon verification
✔ How independent verification helps reduce the risk of greenwashing

Carbon verification isn't simply about compliance. It's about giving organisations confidence in their data, enabling better-informed decisions and demonstrating genuine progress towards Net Zero.

Intersolar Europe 2026 once again united experts from across the energy sector.

Over several days in Munich, Louis Swallow, Head of Commercial Development, met with organisations from across the solar and energy management sectors to discuss the opportunities and challenges shaping the future of energy performance.

One theme emerged consistently throughout the event: organisations are looking beyond technology selection and asking how they can optimise performance, demonstrate compliance and maximise the return on their energy investments.

As businesses continue to invest in renewable technologies, long-term success will increasingly depend on integrating energy generation and operational data to support better decision-making, improve performance and deliver measurable commercial and carbon outcomes. This is where independent, evidence-led expertise adds lasting value.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to meet with Louis and share their insights throughout the event. We look forward to building on those conversations in the months ahead.

Contact Louis to carry on your discussions and explore how TEST can help your organisation maximise the value of its energy strategy.
