RENOVE PLANHousehold electrical appliance renewal programme in Spain
Subsidy for the purchase of an equipment labelled with A or higher energy efficiency rates ONLY if the old, inefficient equipment has been removed for recycling
The amount of the incentive varies by Autonomous Communities (min EUR 50 per appliance)
1.8 million electric appliances were replaced under the plan
between 2006 and 2008
ELAR
Campaign on energy labelling in the Czech Republic
Promoting energy labels as a positive marketing tool(not merely as a strict legal requirement)
Working with manufacturers, retailers, energy utilities, consumer
organizations, NGOs, media
Widely covered by the media
Informative Electricity Bills (Norway)
Tax deduction for high efficiency appliances (Italy)
20% tax deduction for the purchase of electrical appliances at least of A+ class
from 2010 the sale of electrical appliances of energy class lower than A is forbidden
The bill shows how the customer's electricity consumption compares with the year before
Specifies where advice on energy saving can be obtained
Standardised tools to support a wider distribution of
energy related “greener” procurement procedures
Guidelines for procurement:
Legal framework
