Cross-border guide to energy audits

Since 2015 it has been a requirement that all European enterprises qualifying as non-SMEs (small and medium sized enterprises) carry out an audit of their energy consumption. Even though this obligation arises from the EU Energy Efficiency Directive 2012, the range of the concerned enterprises, the obligations within groups, the scope of the audit and the potential sanctions for non-compliance differ significantly across European Union Member States. This cross-border guide has been prepared and updated to the state of law on 1 January 2017 by Linklaters in cooperation with Kinstellar. It will provide you with:

  • an overview of the current state of play
  • the key features and national particulars concerning energy audits in various jurisdictions of the European Union, Serbia and Turkey
  • insight into the scope of the audit and the potential sanctions for non-compliance
