Energy Efficiency Opportunities Assessment for Registered Corporations

With effect from 1 January 2020, a registered corporation under the ECA must, for each relevant business activity under its operational control, conduct an Energy Efficiency Opportunities Assessment (EEOA) for the relevant business activity, and submit an assessment report to NEA before the expiry of the respective assessment period.

You may refer to the circular Requirements under Energy Conservation Act (ECA) to Promote Continual Energy Efficiency (EE) Improvement  on requirements on EEOA for registered corporations.

For the first EEOA,

• A registered corporation that established operational control of a relevant business activity on or before 2 June 2017 must –
  1. conduct an Energy Efficiency Opportunities Assessment for the relevant business activity; and
  2. submit to the Director-General an assessment report by 31 December 2021.
• A registered corporation that established operational control of a relevant business activity after 2 June 2017 must –

1. conduct an Energy Efficiency Opportunities Assessment for the relevant business activity; and
2. submit to the Director-General an assessment report within 6 years from the day the registered corporation established operational control of the relevant business activity.

For Subsequent EEOAs,

• At the end of every assessment period, each relevant business activity that has attained the energy use threshold of at least 500 terajoules in at least 2 out of the 3 preceding calendar years will have to conduct a subsequent EEOA and submit the assessment report within 6 years from the end of its current EEOA.
• Relevant business activities that attain an energy use threshold of at least 54 terajoules but less than 500 terajoules in at least 2 out of the 3 preceding calendar years will only have to conduct a subsequent EEOA upon receiving a notice of assessment from NEA. The relevant business activity will be given 6 years from the date of the notice of assessment to submit its EEOA report.

The EEOA Report must be

• signed off by the energy efficiency opportunities assessor who is principally responsible for conducting the assessment;
• endorsed by the chief executive of the registered corporation.
