EU Policy Update and developments
EU roadmap for moving to a low carbon economy in 2050
EU New Energy Strategy 2020– 5 priorities + actions:
1. Achieving an energy efficient Europe2. Building a truly pan-European integrated energy market3. Empowering consumers and achieving the highest level of security and safety4. Extending Europe’s leadership in energy technology and innovation5. Strengthening the external dimension of the EU energy market
European Energy Efficiency Plan 2011 (08.03.2011)• Estimation that only half of 20% EE target will be achieved • Tapping into greatest energy saving potential: buildings, followed by
transport and industry
• Greatest energy saving potential = buildings
– Trigger renovation process– Improve energy performance of components and appliances– Accelerate refurbishment of public buildings through bi,ding target– Introduce EE criteria in public procurement– Obligations for utilities towards customers to reduce consumption
Achieving an energy efficient Europe: EU EE Plan2011
Achieving an energy efficient Europe: EU EE Plan2011
• Public sector = example– By 2019 new public buildings, « nearly 0-energy » performance level– Apply high standards of EE in public procurement (goods, works and
services)– Request to refurbish at least 3%/year of the public buildings at MS level– Energy performance contracting = trigger ; Commission legislative proposals– Launch of a new Smart Cities and Smart Communities initiative : public
consultation on-going
Regarding buildings: – obstacle: « split incentives » between owner and tenant: EC legislative
provisions– Need for appropriate training and new skills : Build Up Skills inititiave of the
EC– MS to provide lists of ESCO’s and model contracts
Achieving an energy efficient Europe: EU EE Plan2011
• Regarding industry– Promotion of CHP « combined heat and power »– MS to establish national energy saving obligation schemes– “In future work on eco-design and energy labelling the EC will examine the
option where relevant, of covering systems as well as individual products”.
• Appropriate national and European financial support
• Savings for consumers
