At NFU Energy, we understand that staying on top of the dynamic energy landscape is crucial for your business. In 2024, several key dates demand your attention to ensure compliance, unlock incentives, and optimise your energy initiatives. Let's delve into the pivotal dates that could shape your energy strategy in the coming year.
01 January 2024 – Environmental Permit Deadline for Medium Combustion Plants
It is compulsory for businesses that operate a combustion plant such as an engine, boiler, or turbine with over 1MWth input to have an environmental permit in place. Existing plants - those put into operation prior to 20 December 2018, that are over 5MWth input must have an environmental permit in place by 01 January 2024. At NFU Energy we have a range of services to assist you and your projects’ environmental compliance needs. From permitting applications and variations with our inhouse experts, to management of tricky and complicated dispersion modelling and emission testing with third party suppliers, we can help your project go from paper to reality.

05 June 2024 – Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) Phase 3
ESOS is compulsory for large companies with turnover in excess of €50 million or with 250 employees or more, that must assess their energy use and set out an energy saving strategy. Phase 3 qualification date is the 31 December 2022 and the compliance date is 05 June 2024. To be ESOS compliant, your business must have 12 months’ worth of data available to assess and submit (allowing time for the processing of both to happen). Here at NFU Energy we can take care of the whole process for you. Our ESOS audits and inhouse energy audits undertaken throughout the last decade have shown that most organisations have considerable opportunities to save energy, costs and emissions.
