Energy

Main elements of the EED proposal

• 2-step approach regarding targets

• Increased role of the public sector

• Energy efficiency obligation schemes or alternative approaches to be set by MS

• Accurate and frequent individual metering / billing

• Mandatory energy audits for large companies and promotion of audits for households and SMEs

• Heat and cooling demand plans

• Strong obligations for CHP

• Energy efficiency to be taken into account in setting network tariffs and regulations

Energy

• "Member States shall establish a long-term strategy for mobilising investment in the renovation of the national stock of residential and commercial buildings, both public and private."

• "[…] each Member State shall ensure that, as from 1 January 2014, 3 % of the total floor area of heated and/or cooled buildings owned and occupied by its central government is renovated each year to meet at least the minimum energy performance requirements that it has set in application of Article 4 of Directive 2010/31/EU."

• The same approach applicable at lower administrative levels on a voluntary basis.

Focus on building renovation (Art. 4/5)

May/June 2014

• Transposition deadline – 18 months after the entry into force (note: some Articles have earlier or later deadlines)

The Ecodesign Directive addresses the supply side, the Energy Labelling Directive addresses the demand side. It is the combined effect of both measures which ensures a dynamic improvement of the market.

Ecodesign Directive 2009/125/EC: «framework» defining the «rules» for setting product-specific requirements/legislation on energy efficiency and further parameters.

Energy Labelling Directive 2010/30/EU: «framework» defining the «rules» for setting product-specific requirements/legislation on standard information of the consumption of energy and other resources

Energy efficiency of products

Energy

Main legal instrument for energy-related products • Exemption for the automotive sector regulated in the

type-approval legislation

Framework Directive: • Implementing measures, or

• Voluntary agreements

• Implementing measures for products with: • Preparatory studies before the implementing measure

• Significant environmental aspects, potential for improvement, trade and sales volume

• Based on Life-cycle approach

Ecodesign Directive 2009/125/EC

• Examples of some adopted implementing measures:

• Total (377 TWh) savings correspond approx. to the electricity consumption of the UK

• Workplans: 2009-2011 2012-2014

• Energy-related products (as in the revised Ecodesign Directive)

• Review planned in 2014

• Fiscal incentives and public procurement

• Simplification - delegated acts (Regulations) without Regulatory Committee vote

• Role for manufacturers, retailers, installers

• A-G and A+++-D scales

Recast Directive 2010/31/EU same principles as Directive 2002/91/EC:

• Framework Directive (principle of subsidiarity)

• Minimum energy performance requirements

• Energy Performance Certificates

• Inspection of heating and cooling systems

• Independency of experts

• Exemplary role of public sector

Energy

EPBD - new in the recast

• Introduction of “nearly zero-energy buildings” by 2021/2019

• “Cost-optimal methodology”

• Extension of minimum requirements to ALL buildings but no obligation to renovate

• Strengthening of Energy Performance Certificates and Inspections

• Requirements for technical building systems at system level

Commission study on NZEB

• Towards nearly zero-energy buildings

• Started end of 2011 (timeline: 12 months)

• Objectives:

1.Clarification of concepts in the definition;

2.Facilitation of COM’s monitoring and reporting tasks

3.Develop benchmarks for nearly zero-energy buildings for different European climate zones

4.Analysis of the differences, consistencies between and convergence of national cost-optimal levels and national nearly zero-energy buildings;

Energy

Cost optimal methodology

• Framework on how to calculate cost-optimal minimum energy performance requirements

• Aim: Shift focus from upfront investment costs to life cycle costs

• Comparison of result with current requirements and adjust building codes if needed

• Adopted by Commission on 16 January 2012

• Act established with publication in OJ on 21 March 2012

Energy

Financing energy efficiency

• Cohesion policy funds (2007-2013): • 4,6 billion € for energy efficiency

ELENA Facility:

• 97 million € for technical assistance to mobilise investments

• European Energy Efficiency Fund (EEE-F):

• 265 million € for investments into mature, bankable efficiency/renewables projects

• 20 million € for technical assistance

• Intelligent Energy Europe Programme (2007-2013): • 735 million € for ‘soft’ energy efficiency/renewables projects

Energy

EU financial facilities in future

• Next Multi-Annual Financial Framework (2014-2020) proposals:

• Cohesion funding to allocate some 17 billion € to

energy efficiency and renewable energy (doubling current allocations)

• Horizon 2020: 6.5 billion € is to be allocated to research and innovation in "Secure, clean and efficient energy"

Energy

…and beyond 2020?

• Low-carbon economy roadmap 2050 (March 2011)

• 20% reduction in energy efficiency = 25% reduction in CO2 by 2020

• Crucial role of building sector: emissions could be reduced by 90 % by 2050 0%
