A NEW ENERGY EFFICIENCY PLAN TO PUT THE EU BACK ON TRACK: INDICATIVE TARGETS & STRINGENT BINDING MEASURES

Horizontal measures EEP 2011 Indicative MS targets Sectoral measures Monitoring

Transport Local actions

…THE PUBLIC SECTOR TO LEAD BY EXAMPLE

• High energy efficiency standards when purchasing

goods, services and works

• Use of energy performance contracting as a way to

improve and finance energy performance improvements

• For additional buildings to be rented/ purchased, these

should be of the best available energy performance class Energy efficiency in public spending Energy efficiency

• n the ground

Renovation of public buildings

• Annual 3% refurbishment (by floor area) bringing the

energy performance level to the level of the best 10% of the national building stock

• Further promotion of the Covenant of Mayors
• Launch of a new Smart Cities and Smart Communities

initiative

…TOWARDS LOW ENERGY CONSUMING BUILDINGS AND MORE EFFICIENT APPLIANCES

Removing legal

• bstacles

ESCOs - catalyst for renovation Training Appliances

• New ecodesign

measures (e.g. heating boilers, water heaters) under the current work programme

• New products to be covered under new work programme
• Analysis of option of covering systems as well as individual

products

• MS to provide market overviews, registries of energy

services providers and model contracts

• Training and Qualification initiative to train professionals in

the field of energy efficiency (BUILD UP Skills)

• Adaptation of national academic curricula to reflect energy

efficiency qualification needs

• MS to introduce measures to address the “split of incentives”

issue according to private property

… ENHANCING COMPETITIVENESS IN INDUSTRY

• Mandatory energy audits for large companies
• Encouraging MS to develop information & incentives for

SMEs

• EU support to SMEs through exchange of best practices &

development of benchmarking tools

• Additional ecodesign measures on industrial products

(option to look into systems) Energy generation

• f heat & electricity

Manufacturing industry Energy Services as business field

• New energy generation capacity

to reflect BAT (consideration of possible future legislation, if current measures not sufficient)

• Integrated approach tackling heat losses from electricity &

industrial production processes through CHP and DH/DC

• National energy saving obligation schemes for energy

utilities to trigger the uptake of energy efficiency services

… LAST BUT NOT LEAST: MEANS TO EMPOWER CONSUMERS AND FINANCING

• Empowering consumers

through adequate measures (e.g. minimum requirements on the content and format of information provision and services) to ensure that technological innovation, including the roll-out of smart grids and smart meters fulfils the need for appropriate information for consumers.

• EU financing instruments:

Assessment of existing EU tools (IEE, technical assistance, structural funds, EERP EE fund) Proposal on the new multi-annual financial framework of the Commission

NEXT STEPS 2011: PUTTING THE PLAN INTO PRACTICE

New legislative proposal on Energy Savings (most probably encompassing revision of the existing Energy Services and Combined Heat and Power Directives) – June 2011 Adoption of new ecodesign and energy labelling measures (e.g. boilers, air-conditioning) Launching of the Smart Cities and Smart Communities initiative – June 2011 Implementation of dedicated financial instrument for unspent funds under the European Economic Programme for Recovery (EEPR) to finance bankable EE and RES projects mainly in urban settings – May/June 2011 Proposals on financing tools which will be brought forward during the budgetary discussions of 2011

STRINGENT HORIZONTAL AND SECTORAL EE MEASURES WITHOUT BINDING TARGETS

Sectors with important energy efficiency potentials:

• Leading role of the public sector
• Buildings and appliances
• Transport
• Industry (incl. energy supply)

Initiatives facilitating energy efficiency:

• Leveraging private investments through EU financing
• Incentives schemes at MS level e.g. for SMEs
• Training
• Empowering consumers (information, labelling, smart

grids/ smart meters developments) Two step approach:

• 2011: Stringent binding energy efficiency measures

and indicative national targets (set by MS in the context

• f Europe 2020 and their NRPs)
• 2013: COM to assess progress. In case of likely non

achievement of EU target by 2020, COM will propose binding national targets
