EEOS Tendering That Turns Verified Savings Into Revenue

Commercial structuring and submission of energy savings under Ireland's Energy Efficiency Obligation Scheme, so the savings you have already delivered become a verified, tradable asset rather than a missed opportunity.

  • Turns verified savings into a tradable asset under the EEOS framework
  • Packages and positions savings credibly for obligated parties
  • Built on IPMVP-grade M&V evidence that SEAI and EEOS accept
  • End to end: from verification to submission and commercial engagement

What we do

What This Service Is

EEOS Tendering is the work EM3 carries out when a client wants to convert verified or potential energy savings into commercial value under an obligation scheme. In Ireland, this sits under the Energy Efficiency Obligation Scheme (EEOS), where obligated parties are required to deliver energy savings and can purchase those savings from qualifying projects.

What EM3 delivers is not an audit and not project delivery. It is the commercial structuring, positioning and negotiation of savings as a tradable asset, tied to demonstrating adequate evidence of the savings and enabling submission to EEOS partners and SEAI for validation and credit allocation. This is the point where technical work becomes commercial.

The challenge

The Challenge It Solves

By the time a client needs EEOS tendering support, they are not at the beginning of the journey. A project has been completed or is planned, savings exist or are expected, and those savings could qualify under EEOS, but the client cannot yet realise that value.

The first issue is uncertainty around eligibility and evidence: even real savings are not automatically accepted, and must be measurable, verifiable and supported by a structured methodology to satisfy EEOS and SEAI. The second is how to engage with obligated parties: the scheme is not a simple claim process, so savings must be packaged correctly, supported by technical evidence and positioned commercially, or they have limited tradable value. The third is the risk of under-realising value: accepting a suboptimal offer, failing to present savings effectively, or missing the opportunity entirely. The real problem is that the client has real or potential savings, but no structured route to convert them into commercial return within the EEOS framework.

  • Savings exist, but are not automatically accepted without structured evidence
  • No clear route to package and position savings for obligated parties
  • Risk of accepting a suboptimal offer, or missing the opportunity entirely
  • Technical value that has not yet been turned into commercial return

Our method

How EM3 Delivers It

  1. Review the project and opportunity

    We start by understanding the Energy Conservation Measures, reviewing the available data and assessing whether the savings can be verified or need further work. Where verification has not been completed, this connects directly into M&V to define the methodology and baseline.

  2. Structure into a tender-ready format

    We define the project boundary, quantify the energy savings, convert them into EEOS-eligible metrics and align everything with the scheme requirements, so the savings are ready to be presented as a tradable asset.

  3. Check data quality and metering

    We assess data quality and metering coverage and identify any gaps that could weaken the submission, ensuring sufficient data exists to verify the savings before they go to market.

  4. Engage the obligated parties

    We position the savings clearly and credibly, in a way that can be evaluated commercially by potential buyers, supporting both the preparation of M&V evidence and the tendering of the savings into the EEOS market.

  5. Submission and follow-through

    We prepare the reports for SEAI or EEOS partners, submit the forms and documentation, and engage with reviewers and auditors, including support during verification discussions and any site visits.

What you receive

What You Receive

  • A defined, validated savings position

    Built on M&V plans and reports, baseline and reporting-period analysis, clearly defined project boundaries and quantified energy savings.

  • A tender-ready package

    Your technical output converted into a commercial tender, so the savings can be presented to obligated parties in a form that can be evaluated and contracted.

  • EEOS and SEAI submission documentation

    The forms, reports and documentation needed for submission, aligned with the requirements of the scheme.

  • Verification and compliance support

    Support with verification and compliance checks, and engagement with external stakeholders, reviewers and auditors, including site audits where required.

  • IPMVP-grade evidence

    A structured methodology aligned with the IPMVP, transparent calculations and clearly defined boundaries, evidence rather than estimates.

  • A monetisation pathway

    The move from "we have savings" to "we have verified, structured savings that can be traded and monetised".

On a compressed-air efficiency project, EM3 combined EEOS tendering support with M&V, structuring the engagement to deliver both the verification and the submission-ready outputs within a two to four week scope. On another project, EM3 prepared the baseline analysis, the reporting-period analysis and the verified savings, then supported submission and engagement with the funding authority, including potential site audits to validate the results.

These show how EEOS tendering works in practice: built on technical verification, structured into a compliant submission and positioned for commercial engagement. The value is the shift it delivers, from a site saying it has savings to a site holding verified, structured savings that can be traded and monetised.

Why EM3

Why EM3

  • Technical credibility, commercial value

    The work is built on verified or verifiable savings, methodologies aligned with the IPMVP, and transparent calculations with clearly defined boundaries, because obligated parties and regulators do not accept estimates, they require evidence.

  • Across the full chain

    We identify opportunities, quantify savings, verify results and then position those savings commercially. The same engineering understanding that found the opportunity supports its valuation, which reduces risk for you.

  • Evidence, not estimates

    Everything is structured so it stands up to scrutiny from EEOS partners and SEAI, with the metering, baseline and methodology in place before the savings go to market.

  • Independent

    With no ties to specific technologies or suppliers, the savings are presented on actual performance and value, not shaped by vendor positioning.

How we engage

How We Engage

Typical durationTwo to six weeks
Engagement model

EEOS Tendering is usually bundled with M&V or delivered as part of a combined scope rather than as a standalone product. A combined EEOS tender and M&V scope is often delivered in around two to four weeks, while a fuller M&V report with submission support runs to around six weeks. Scope and price scale with project size, the level of verification required and the number of projects bundled into a tender, delivered on a milestone basis and confirmed in a proposal.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is EEOS and how can savings have value?

The Energy Efficiency Obligation Scheme is an Irish scheme under which obligated parties are required to deliver energy savings and can purchase savings from qualifying projects. That means verified energy savings can become a tradable asset with real commercial value.

We have completed a project with savings. Can we just claim them?

Not directly. The scheme is not a simple claim process. Savings must be measurable, verifiable and supported by a structured methodology, then packaged and positioned commercially, otherwise they have limited tradable value.

Do the savings have to be verified first?

Yes. Obligated parties and regulators require evidence, not estimates. The work is built on IPMVP-grade measurement and verification, with transparent calculations and clearly defined boundaries. Where verification is not yet done, we connect it directly to M&V.

What standard is the evidence built to?

The methodology is aligned with the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP) and structured to satisfy EEOS and SEAI requirements.

Do you handle the submission and obligated-party engagement?

Yes, end to end: preparing the M&V evidence, structuring the tender, preparing the SEAI and EEOS documentation, and supporting verification discussions and any site audits.

How long does it take?

A combined EEOS tender and M&V scope is often around two to four weeks, and a fuller M&V report with submission support around six weeks. It scales with the value and complexity of the underlying projects.
