Background

EU security of supply & Kyoto

EU savings potential 20%; 1%/yr possible all M.S.

Demand-side not addressed in Internal Market Dir.

Need for umbrella for existing & proposed energy
efficiency legislation (EPBD, Eco-design, CHP, etc).

Legal basis Art. 175 (1) Environmental Protection.

Harmonisation energy efficiency & energy services
(Art. 95).

Objectives

Promotes cost-effective energy efficiency with
targets, mechanisms, incentives, institutional,
financial & legal frameworks.

Market transformation-commercially viable market.

Develops market for energy services (energy/ tech).

Scope


Covers energy suppliers (distributors and/or
retailers) of: electricity, gas, district heating and
cooling, heating oil, coal, lignite, transport fuels,
forestry & agri. energy products & waste (may
exclude < 50 GWh/year).
End-use sectors include:
-domestic, agricultural, public and tertiary sectors
-non-energy intensive industries
-transport (excl. aviation and foreign shipping)


1 % annual overall target (Article 4):
- cumulative to 2012, max. 6 years (6-yr target instead?)
- target absolute & fixed for period, thus independent of GDP
- measures from 1991 may be included; (but 70´s & 80´s?)
-allows effects of information, energy advisors, improved
building codes, tax changes; (problem of double-counting! )
- annexes guidelines/methodology; examples; (Committee?)
- independent public sector bodies to oversee (exist!)
“white certificates”/energy efficiency later? (need M&V!)
Measurements : need clear and simple methodology: mixture
of top-down (adjusted intensity) & bottom-up?

n° 5
Content 2/8

1,5 % annual public sector target (Article 5):
- a sub-target of the overall 1 % target (PS=10%.)
- uses same methodology as overall target
- uses aggregated public procurement to increase
demand for energy efficiency & energy services

Precise definition of ”public sector” & statistics
21.09.2004
European Commission, Directorate-General for Energy and Transport
n° 6
Content 3/8

Obligation for some energy distribution and/or
retail energy sales companies (Article 6):
- to offer energy services or energy audits
(electricity, gas, district heating and heating oil)

Remove market barriers
- 5 % of customers not covered by services, free
energy audits (under discussion, could change!)
Information to public authorities to promote
energy services & energy efficiency

n° 7
Content 4/8

Qualification, certification and accreditation of
energy service providers (Article 8):
- ensures technical competence & mutual recognition

Financial instruments (Article 9):
- third-party financing, energy performance
contracting & similar instruments promoted

n° 8
Content 5/8

Tariffs & regulations net-bound energy (Article 10).
- tariff structures to weaken volume incentive link

Cost recovery for distribution companies, if
reasonable, fair & if competition ensured.

(DH/C will require special treatment.)

European Commission, Directorate-General for Energy and Transport
n° 9
Content 6/8

Financing of energy efficiency programmes,
measures, ESCOs etc. allowed (Article 11).

Opens funds to all providers of energy services,
energy efficiency programmes & measures, without
prejudice to State Aid rules.

Energy audits (Article 12):
Member States to ensure the wide availability of
independent audit schemes.

European Commission, Directorate-General for Energy and Transport
n° 10
Content 7/8

Metering & informative billing (Article 13):
- Ensures accurate metering of net-bound energy,
actual consumption & time of use.

Ensures frequent & informative billing, more
information on benchmarks, available energy
services & measures. Branch organisations assist.


Reporting (Article 14):
- M. S. report not later than 2 years after adoption
of Directive & then every 3 years up to 2012
2009 (IR) & 2014 (FR)?
- Commission to report on progress toward
achieving national targets

Transposition (Article 16):
- by June 2006

Conclusions

Discussions on-going in Council & E. P. Mixed
reactions. Concerned with targets & measurement.

M.S. can accept indicative targets; need definitions of
energy efficiency, energy services, simpler & more
harmonised measurement methods & schemes …

Importance & value of targets needs more explanation.

Committee?

ANNEX: Technical discussion points

Definition of energy efficiency : service perspective
over mechanistic, strict intensity perspective
(elevator vs. stairs, e.g.).

Market-Basket (bottom-up) vs. comprehensive
approach (top-down).

Factorial decomposition & divisia index
approaches (top-down)

End-use energy vs. primary energy
