Certification of energy review

Purpose

According to the current law on energy reviews in large companies (EKL 2014:266), companies that employ at least 250 people and have an annual turnover of over 50 million Euros, or a balance sheet total exceeding 43 million Euros, are required to conduct energy review. According to legislation that is expected to come into force in the autumn of 2026, the obligation to carry out energy audits will instead be based on energy use.. The results of the review must be reported to the Swedish Energy Agency.

Depending on the size of the energy consumption, the energy reviewe can be carried out by a certified energy auditor, in-house for companies certified according to ISO 50001, or by extending their ISO 14001 certification to include energy review.

By conducting the energy review within the framework of the environmental management system:

• the organization performs its own energy review
• the organization gains knowledge and skills development during the process
• areas with potential for efficiency improvements are identified
• an action program is established
• the foundation is laid for improving energy performance and thereby reducing energy costs
• the legislation in the area is complied with

Process

Is your company interested in conducting the energy review within the framework of environmental management system?

Contact Certification at RISE to apply for an extension of the certification to also include the requirements according to EKL.

The company needs to further qualify a person or a group according to the competence requirements in STEMFS 2014:2. Thereafter, you conduct the review according to an appropriate standard, such as ISO 50002 or SS-EN 16247.

Based on your documentation, RISE will determine an appropriate timeframe for assessing  the energy review. The assessment takes place both on-site at your location and as a document review. The process is similar in many ways to an environmental certification.

See the description of RISE's certification process for management systems.
