Energy efficiency and effective energy management are becoming increasingly important for businesses, both because of rising energy costs and the new legislative requirements now coming into force.
The new energy efficiency legislation introduces significant changes to the way business obligations are determined. Requirements for energy audits and the implementation of Energy Management Systems are now based on a company’s energy consumption rather than its size.
More specifically, companies with an average annual final energy consumption of more than 10 TJ may be required to carry out an energy audit by 11 October 2026, while companies with consumption above 85 TJ are required to implement a certified Energy Management System by 11 October 2027.
These changes make it increasingly important for businesses to understand their energy consumption, assess whether they fall within the scope of the new requirements, and prepare in good time.
The Cyprus Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI), as part of its participation in the European project EcoSMEnergy – Empowering SMEs for Energy Efficiency, is organising a free online workshop titled:
‘New Energy Management Requirements: What is Changing
for Businesses and How Can They Prepare?’
During the workshop, participants will receive practical guidance on:
the energy consumption calculation tool
the main legislative changes and which companies are affected
how to prepare for and carry out an energy audit
the implementation of an Energy Management System, such as ISO 50001
practical steps businesses can take to meet the new requirements and prepare in good time
