Environmental agency audits my business for energy-saving — what now?
Don't panic. Gather: eLoket report, EML checklist per implemented measure + invoices. Insufficient: chance for remediation + tailored arrangement.
On audit you must show either full EML implementation for your sector, OR identification + implementation of all measures with payback < 5 years. Plan: (1) Gather eLoket report (RVO compliance report); (2) EML checklist per measure: implementation + invoices + optional kWh metering; (3) For unimplemented measures: justification (not profitable, technically impossible, planned within 12 months); (4) Insufficient compliance: typically 6-12 month remediation window with tailored arrangement; (5) Continued non-compliance: penalty payment (typically €1,500-€15,000) + enforcement decision. Object to enforcement: 6 weeks at municipality/agency. Tip: hire energy advisor (EIA deductible) for pre-audit inspection.
