Company energy audit report
Logistics property, Turku
Prepared by
Energy audits and energy management for companies.
From 1 January 2027, new requirements are planned for companies that use more than 2.78 GWh of energy a year. Those who prepare during 2026 will be ready when the act enters into force.
We see.We optimise. You save.
What the report looks like
The outcome of the audit is a report management understands: where the energy goes, where the savings are and what they cost. Here is an excerpt from the start of a sample report.

Who this applies to in practice
The obligation looks at consumption, not at your industry. These six sectors cross the threshold most often from a direction nobody expects.
- Transport and logistics A fleet of roughly seven heavy vehicles is enough to cross the threshold.
- Earthworks and contracting Fuel for machinery is often a bigger item than the buildings.
- Forestry contracting and chipping Harvesting machinery and chippers count towards consumption just like buildings.
- Greenhouses and agriculture Heating and lighting make even a small operator energy-intensive.
- Ports, terminals and warehousing Machinery, cold storage and lighting cross the threshold unnoticed.
- Industry and properties Waste heat and control curves are the biggest single findings.
Three ways to meet the obligation – we help you choose the right one
Under the EU Energy Efficiency Directive (2023/1791) the obligation can be met by several routes. The right route depends on consumption and on which management systems the company already has.
Energy audit under EKL
2.78 – 23.6 GWh / year
Under the revised EU directive for companies consuming 2.78–23.6 GWh/year; the Swedish act is planned from 1 January 2027, and until then the Act (2014:266) applies to large companies. An audit every four years, led by a certified energy auditor, with proposed measures and reporting to the Swedish Energy Agency.

over 23.6 GWh / year
Under the revised EU directive for companies consuming over 23.6 GWh/year; the Swedish act is planned from 1 January 2027. For others, a way to be exempt from the audit requirement. We build the system ready for certification – the certificate is issued by a Swedac-accredited certification body.

when an environmental management system is already certified
A company consuming over 23.6 GWh per year does not need to build a separate energy management system if it has a certified environmental management system (ISO 14001) and, alongside it, an energy audit meeting the EKL requirements. We prepare the audit within the existing system so that maintenance is not duplicated; the audit itself is led by a certified energy auditor.
