What do I need to report for the information obligation on energy saving (Informatieplicht energiebesparing)?
Direct answer
For the information obligation on energy saving, you typically report company and site data, energy use, relevant measures and their status. Energy monitoring helps to keep the data current, verifiable and better substantiated.
- Consumption data
- Measure status
- Substantiation
- Repeatable reporting

Manual reporting versus structured preparation
Reporting for the information obligation is easier when the energy foundation is in order. Those who manage data, measures and sites in a scattered way have to search again every time. A central platform makes the preparation clearer.
Key points
Data
Traditional approach
Consumption and measures are scattered.
Modern approach
Sites, meters and measure status are centrally available.
Substantiation
Traditional approach
Evidence is collected each round.
Modern approach
Measurement data and notes stay linked to the site.
Repetition
Traditional approach
Each report takes a lot of work again.
Modern approach
The foundation stays current for subsequent reports.
Which information do you collect?
Think of site data, energy use, meters, measures, status, planning and any substantiation of why a measure was or was not implemented.
- Sites and connections.
- Electricity, gas and other energy carriers.
- Measures and status.
- Documentation and measurement results.
How does monitoring help with this?
Monitoring makes visible where energy goes and whether measures have an effect. This makes reporting less administrative and more steering information.
- Keep data current.
- Track the effect of measures.
- Explain deviations.
- Produce management reports.

Frequently asked questions
Practical answers to common questions about this topic.
Question not covered here?
Ask a specialist directly. You will get a response within one business day.
Ask your questionWhich data exactly is mandatory?
That depends on current regulations and the situation of the organisation. Use official sources or an adviser for the legal check.
Can software submit the report automatically?
Not by default. Software can structure the preparation, data and substantiation; submission depends on the chosen route and requirements.
Which energy-saving software suits a company?
For a company, energy-saving software is especially valuable when it brings consumption, measures and substantiation together in one place. At COMCAM, that starts with the Consumption Analysis, at a fixed price per meter per month. Those who also want to weigh financial impact or peak load expand modularly with the Financial Analysis or Capacity Analysis, each at a fixed surcharge per meter. This keeps reporting current and repeatable without individual measures becoming the end goal.
Does software help with EBS reporting?
Software supports EBS reporting by recording consumption, sites, meters and measure status centrally and traceably. This makes the preparation repeatable and keeps the substantiation verifiable. The legal assessment of which measures are mandatory remains situation-dependent. With COMCAM, the data foundation starts from the Consumption Analysis, at a fixed, indicative price per meter per month; the Financial Analysis (fixed surcharge per meter) helps to substantiate the cost impact of measures.
What is the core of report information obligation energy saving?
For the information obligation on energy saving, you typically report company and site data, energy use, relevant measures and their status. Energy monitoring helps to keep the data current, verifiable and better substantiated.
What data do I need for report information obligation energy saving?
Start with quarter-hour meter data, invoices, contract data and site characteristics. That makes report information obligation energy saving concrete, comparable and easier to follow up, rather than just a separate report.
When does this topic become relevant for my organisation?
As soon as it touches costs, grid capacity, reporting or daily operations. Also consider related themes such as information obligation energy saving, report energy measures and energy-saving obligation reporting.
