THREAT OF FINES FOR FAILING EU ENERGY DIRECTIVE

摘要

Up to 16,000 UK businesses have just six months to comply with a mandatory EU energy directive before December or risk fines of up to £50,000 and being publicly named, which is likely to hit thousands due to a low level of awareness of the new requirements. The Environmental Agency's new Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) was launched last summer as part of the UK government's response to new EU Energy Efficiency Directives, calling on companies to identify and improve their energy efficiency.
