Environmental and Social Schemes

Engage Consulting has an experienced team of ISO 9001-certified auditors with a strong track record of delivering high-quality audits across complex regulatory schemes.

Auditing Expertise Across Key Energy Schemes

The GB energy sector has several key environmental and social schemes that require regular auditing to ensure compliance, transparency, and effective delivery. These schemes are critical to supporting government policy on decarbonisation, tackling fuel poverty, and promoting renewable energy generation. Given their scale and public impact, rigorous and independent audits are essential to ensure funding is used appropriately, obligations are met and benefits reach the intended recipients.

Feed-In Tariff (FIT) – Annual Levelisation Audit

The FIT scheme supports small-scale renewable electricity generation by offering payments to producers. Annual levelisation ensures that licensed electricity suppliers contribute fairly to scheme costs. Audits validate the accuracy of reported generation data, supplier contributions and the overall levelisation process.

Energy Company Obligation (ECO) Scheme Delivery

ECO obliges large energy suppliers to fund energy efficiency improvements in homes, particularly for vulnerable and fuel-poor households. Auditing assesses the legitimacy of reported installations, contractor compliance, eligibility verification, and accurate reporting of carbon savings.

These audits are essential to maintain each scheme's integrity, financial accuracy, and intended social and environmental impacts

Engage Consulting combine their deep understanding of settlements processes with a consistent and open approach to stakeholder engagement which has allowed them to overcome the early challenges associated with a change in methodology.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Engage’s consultants for over six years on a large, complex, wide-ranging, technical and challenging project of critical importance to our members and government.

Engage Consulting has been instrumental in establishing the Alt HAN Co; ensuring the complex journey from inception to being an independently operational business, was delivered with professional and invaluable expertise and support.

The 105 number for customers to call in a power cut was a key project for the ENA to deliver on behalf of electricity network operators. Engage overcame the many multi-stakeholder challenges – enabling us to obtain a three-digit number from Ofcom.

We brought Engage in, as industry experts, to review our systems, processes and controls – and ensure that they would support our next phase of growth. The report they provided us with was clear and insightful – and enabled us to make real improvements across our business.

Engage analysed gigabytes of our portfolio data and identified customer accounts causing the imbalance. They also successfully identified the key causes, provided detailed recommendations and proposed a model settlements function to allow us to improve our processes and manage future imbalances.

Engage applied their detailed industry knowledge to develop a robust methodology for quantifying the impact of these adjustments, applied this to large volumes of our metered data, and produced a far more accurate determination of our losses.
