Do you own or use a building that consumes more than 50,000 kWh of electricity or 25,000 m\u00b3 of natural gas? If so, you will most likely have to deal with the energy efficiency disclosure requirement. 1 December 2023 is the next deadline for this purpose. You will then be asked to report on the energy savings made in your buildings and what is still planned. In this article, we will explain the ins and outs of the disclosure requirement and the deadline of 1 December 2023.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The energy efficiency disclosure requirement, what does that involve? The energy efficiency requirement was created to reduce energy consumption in the Netherlands. The built environment is one of the major consumers of electricity and so requirements have been imposed to save energy in buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If a property has an energy efficiency requirement, energy saving measures must be implemented. This applies to companies and institutions that use more than 50,000 kWh of electricity or 25,000 m\u00b3 of natural gas (equivalent). Since 1 July 2023, more properties are covered by the energy efficiency requirement, such as greenhouse horticulture, waste processing plants and heavy industrial plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To be clear: the energy efficiency requirement is about implementing measures, the disclosure requirement refers to reporting on them. The disclose requirement distinguishes between the property itself, which is managed by the owner, and the activities that lessees carry out on the site. So you can have a disclosure requirement for two things: for the activities carried out on the site and for the properties themselves.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are curious to know if the energy efficiency disclosure requirement applies to you, go through the checklist<\/a> of the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) [in Dutch only].<\/p>\n\n\n\n The disclosure requirement is relevant now as the deadline of the current round is 1 December 2023. Every four years, you have to report on the energy savings achieved on site. The previous disclosure requirement round was in 2019, so there is another deadline this year. The deadline for the next disclosure requirement round will again be in four years, i.e. on 1 December 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\nEnergy saving legislation in brief<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
