Regulatory Framework

ISO 50001: Regulatory obligation or strategic opportunity?

Although voluntary in principle, ISO 50001 certification becomes a strategic option for regulatory compliance. Since 2025, regulations (DDADUE law) impose differentiated obligations based on your consumption level.

Your annual consumption Regulatory obligation How Wattnow helps you
> 23.6 GWh Mandatory implementation of an ISO 50001 certified EnMS. Our platform is the ideal operational tool to build and maintain your EnMS, centralizing all data and simplifying action management.
Between 2.75 and 23.6 GWh Mandatory energy assessment every 4 years. ISO 50001 is a valuable alternative. Wattnow provides permanent data, analysis and reports that greatly facilitate the certification process.
Warning about penalties

Non-compliance with these obligations may result in an administrative fine of up to 2% of turnover (4% in case of recurrence). Beyond financial penalties, your CSR credibility and access to certain markets may be impacted. Discover how our compliance module secures you.
