Energy Saving Policies and Energy Efficiency Obligation Scheme

Presentation of the ENSPOL Project

Horizon 2020 Info Day Brussels, 8th December 2015 Vlasios Oikonomou, Project Coordinator

Background

 Directive 2012/27/EU, commonly referred to as the Energy Efficiency Directive - EED, requires each Member States (MS) to apply energy efficiency measures and sets several ambitious objectives for 2020.  As prescribed in Articles 7 and 20 of the Directive, each MS must adopt policy measures in order to set up an Energy Efficiency Obligation scheme (EEOs), or alternative policy measures that would deliver a certain amount of end-use energy savings over the 2014 - 2020 obligation period.

“That target shall be at least equivalent to achieving new savings each year from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2020 of 1,5 % of the annual energy sales to final customers of all energy distributors or all retail energy sales companies by volume, averaged over the most recent three-year period prior to 1 January 2013.”

According to Article 7:

ENSPOL Objectives

Assess the relative strengths and weaknesses of EEOs and alternative measures based on the existing experiences and plans of MS. Complement and enhance the work of existing EU and MS initiatives concerned with the implementation of Article 7 EED. Improve knowledge and capabilities of MS outside of the project consortium with the guidance developed when designing and implementing new schemes and/or alternative measures for implementation of Article 7. Strengthen cooperation and facilitate dialogue across the EU with regards to policy development and implementation relating to Article 7 EED.

Expected Results

ENSPOL envisages to:

• Create favourable conditions for improved implementation of Article 7 of the EED in

the project partner countries, leading to robust new schemes and /or alternative measures.

• Enhance and empower existing schemes and/or alternative policies in partner

countries.

• Develop and sustain beyond the project period an active platform for knowledge

exchange on EED Article 7 (so called ‘EU Observatory’), which will be supported by corresponding national observatories.

• Ensure the effective engagement of a wide range of stakeholders with an interest in

the implementation of Article 7 and promote broad consultation.

Methodological Frame

Flowchart

Achievements so far…

ENSPOL accounts for the following achievements thus far:

• Comprehensive analysis of existing EEOs focusing on project results (6 countries).

(Deliverable 2.1.1)

• Analysis of planned EEOs focusing on their design elements (10 countries).

(Deliverable 2.1.1)

• Context analysis of countries with existing / planned EEOs – Identification of

national contextual challenges to the implementation of EEOs. (Deliverable 2.1.2)

• Analysis of alternative measure by examining their key implementation and design

features (8 countries). (Deliverable 3.1)

• Comprehensive analysis of existing EEO schemes outside the EU, their design

elements and demonstrated results (Deliverable 2.2)

EEOs and Art. 7: An EU Overview

• Compliance

with Article 7 requirements is proposed through either:

• ΕΕΟ

scheme (4 countries:

Bulgaria, Denmark, Luxembourg, Poland)

• Combination of EEO schemes &

Alternative measures (13 countries: Austria, Belgium, Croatia,

Estonia, France, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Slovenia, Spain, UK)

• Alternative

measures (10 countries:

Chez Rep., Cyprus, Finland, Germany, Greece, Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Sweden).

Alternative measures Combination (EEO schemes & Alternatives Measures) EEO schemes Not specified yet

Relevance to EE9 call

• Raising the capacity of Member States to fulfil their
• bligation under the Energy Efficiency Directive,

Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, Ecodesign and Labelling Directives (e.g. monitoring on the energy efficiency progress and policies)

• Innovative ways to enable public engagement in the

energy transition, developing interface capacities within public authorities to engage with civil society

• Supporting public authorities to foster multi-level

governance, linking up local, regional and national levels for delivering integrated sustainable energy planning and projects to achieve synergies and economies of scale

EE9:Raising capacity of MS

• ENSPOL has gathered together a lot of

data on EEOs, proposed EEOs and alternative policies across the EU and beyond

• We have also analysed the policy mix and

background conditions in each country

• Strong engagement with national

authorities in several MS for policy enhancement

Stakeholder engagement & resources

• Reports
• Policy briefs
• Events – national and EU level

Task 6.1 EU Observatory for exchanging experiences on national EEO schemes.

• Three EU Observatory meeting will take place during the duration of

ENSPOL.

• Target groups European level organizations, Eu member state policymakers

and scheme administrator of EEOS and alternative policy schemes.

• Task 6.2 Training stakeholders aimed to training activities, decision

making and launch on national observatories To promote and facilitate the discussion at national level and the interchange of information at EU level with the aim of supporting MS representative to shape new schemes or improve the existing ones, ENSPOL provides three actions:

• National Observatories
• Capacity building workshops
• National trainings

Further actions promoted by the partnership:

• Webinars (1st by the end of the year on M&V issues);
• Joint meetings (1st in June with participation of DK, FR, IT, UK; 2nd

under discussion).

Observatories and workshops

EE9: Develop interface capacities

• ENSPOL is developing a platform for

exchange of knowledge on specific issues

• f Article 7 and their implementation and

best cases in all MS.

Within this task the ENSPOL team aims at developing a network formed by the EU Observatory and the National Observatories. This network will provide a new forum to exchange , provide support and advice to MS in the implementation of the art.7 EDD.

EE9: Foster multi-level governance

• ENSPOL through the national
• bservatories and training events will

engage also with regional authorities, where the latter seem to play an important role in fulfilling Article 7 obligations through administering national/regional policies.

Steps ahead: Guidelines

• National guidelines for EEOs/alternatives

implementation

• Tailor made to national circumstances

taking into account national energy markets Reports out Fall 2015

Conclusions

• ENSPOL has gathered together a lot of data on EEOs,

proposed EEOs and alternative policies across the EU and beyond

• We have also analysed the policy mix and background

conditions in each country

• We are preparing a set of policy briefs & guidelines on

meeting Article 7 requirements.

• ENSPOL continues to undertake national and EU-level

engagement and knowledge exchange activities

• How can we best engage with you and other

stakeholders?
