Frequently Asked Questions About SECR Templates

Can I use spreadsheet templates for SECR compliance?

Yes, absolutely. SECR compliance doesn't require expensive software—well-structured spreadsheets using the templates provided above will meet all regulatory requirements. The key is systematic data collection, accurate calculations using official conversion factors, and comprehensive documentation.

Thousands of UK businesses successfully comply using spreadsheet-based approaches. The main challenges are:

• Time investment (40-60 hours first year)
• Risk of calculation errors if formulas not carefully validated
• Manual data quality checks
• Updating conversion factors annually

Templates work well for straightforward situations. Consider professional platforms for complexity, time constraints, or strategic carbon management needs.

Do I need different templates for different business types?

The core SECR templates provided are applicable to all UK businesses. However, customization is often helpful:

• Service businesses: Emphasize transport and business travel
• Manufacturing: Add process energy and additional Scope 1 sources
• Retail: Include refrigeration and multiple small locations
• Professional services: Focus on offices and client travel

The fundamental structure (data collection → calculation → disclosure) remains constant. Adjust detail level and categories to match your specific operations.

How often should I update the templates?

Annually:

• Download latest UK Government conversion factors (June/July release)
• Review organizational boundary for changes
• Update energy efficiency measures register
• Refresh prior year comparatives

Monthly/quarterly:

• Update consumption tracking with new data
• Review data quality and completeness
• Identify issues requiring resolution

As needed:

• Add new locations or energy sources
• Adjust for organizational changes
• Incorporate lessons learned from prior year

Templates are living documents—keep them current throughout the year rather than starting from scratch at year-end.

Can these templates be used for net zero planning, not just SECR compliance?

Yes, SECR templates provide the foundation for broader carbon management and net zero strategies.

SECR compliance provides:

• Baseline emissions data
• Scope 1 and Scope 2 inventory
• Energy consumption breakdown
• Year-over-year trends

For net zero planning, extend with:

• Scope 3 emissions calculation (supply chain, business travel, waste)
• Multi-year emissions projection
• Reduction initiative pipeline
• Target-setting frameworks
• Monthly monitoring beyond annual SECR

The Energy Efficiency Measures Register template already supports carbon reduction programme tracking. Expand data collection from annual to monthly for operational management rather than just compliance.

See our guide on Net Zero and SECR for detailed approach.

What if I can't get complete data for all energy sources?

Some estimation is normal and acceptable in SECR reporting, provided:

1. Estimated data is <10% of total consumption (ideally)
2. Estimation methodology is reasonable and documented
3. Basis for estimates is clearly noted
4. You commit to improving data collection for next year

Use the estimation hierarchy in templates:

1. Prior year actual adjusted for known changes
2. Interpolation from adjacent periods
3. Benchmark data for similar operations
4. Engineering estimates based on equipment specifications

Document all estimates and mark clearly in calculation worksheets. In SECR narrative, you may note: "Energy consumption figures include estimates for [specific sources] representing approximately [X%] of total emissions. The company is working to improve data collection coverage for future reporting periods."

Are these templates compliant with current SECR regulations?

Yes, templates are designed based on:

• Companies (Directors' Report) and Limited Liability Partnerships (Energy and Carbon Report) Regulations 2018
• UK Government Environmental Reporting Guidelines (latest version)
• GHG Protocol Corporate Standard
• Best practices from 200+ compliant SECR submissions

Templates are current as of January 2026. While SECR requirements are stable, stay informed of potential regulatory updates through:

• UK Government environmental reporting updates
• Professional advisors or platforms like Comply Carbon that incorporate regulatory changes automatically

How long should I retain SECR templates and supporting documents?

Minimum retention: 6 years (standard UK business records retention period)

Recommended retention permanently for:

• Baseline year documentation (reference point for carbon reduction strategies)
• Years with significant methodology changes
• Years with organizational boundary changes requiring restatements

What to retain:

• Completed templates and calculation worksheets
• Source documents (utility bills, fuel statements, service records)
