EU Policy on Renewable Energy Sources & Energy

Efficiency

Karl KellnerHead of Unit

DG Energy and Transport European Commission


2

EU RES/RUE Policy: Priorities (1)

To achieve a less energy intensity economic growth

To ensure long term security of energy supply

To reduce Green House Gas emissions and climate change effects

EU Strategy for Sustainable Development& Energy Policy main priorities:

the Lisbon and Göteborg processes

To increase endogenous and environmental friendly energy production


3

EU RES/RUE Policy: Priorities (2)

RES development:• To increase RES market penetration • To foster transition of RES technologies

from innovation demonstration to market • Targeted research

• To reduce energy intensity • To increase EE in final uses (industry,

buildings, services and transport)• To improve EE in equipment, domestic appliances, etc.

New & Renewable Energy Sources, Energy Efficiency and Demand Management

RUE improvement:


4

RES/RUE Community Targets

To double the share of renewable energy from 6% to 12% of gross energy consumption in Europe (Union’s E-15) by 2010To establish a framework to increase the share of green electricity from 14% to 21% of gross electricity consumption by 2010

To achieve a share of 5.75 % of biofuels for transport in the total amount of fuels in Europe by 2010

To realise a savings potential of around 22% by 2010 for energy used in heating, air-conditioning, hot water and lighting


5

Adapt and strengthen the European Union’s action in the legislative and financial areas

Community action on the basis of most performant individual Member States initiatives to achieve common goals while ensuring complementarity

Legislative measures

Support programmes

The Commission initiatives promoting:- electricity from renewable sources- biofuels - energy efficiency in buildings- co-generation

Existing support programmes must be strengthened in the period 2003-2006:- 6th RTD Framework Programme - Intelligent Energy Europe

EU RES/RUE Policy: Instruments

Legislative measures


7

Promotion of the RES electricity in the Internal Market

Quantified national targets for consumption of electricity from renewable sources of energy

National support schemes plus, if necessary, a harmonised support system

Simplification of national administrative procedures for authorisation

Guaranteed access to transmission and distribution of electricity from renewable energy sources

Directive 2001/77/EC of 27.09.2001 OJ L 283 of 27.1.2001, page 33


8

Promotion of biofuelsDirective 2003/30/EC of 8 May 2003OJ L 123 of 17.5.2003, page 42

Objectives:• Member States should ensure by end of 2005 a

2% minimum proportion of biofuels of all gasoline and diesel fuels sold on their market.

• Schedule for the indicative share:2005 - 2% 2010 - 5.75%

• Enters into force immediately, MS confirm targets or propose “motivated” lower levels

Transposition


9

Taxation of Energy Products

Directive 2003/96/CE of 27 October 2003OJ L 283, p.51 of 31.10.2003

Council Directive restructuring the Community framework for the taxation of energy products and electricity • Article 16 on “Biofuels and other products produced from biomass” allows MS to apply exemption or reduced rate of taxation

• Into force from 31.10.2003• MS to inform the Commission on the list of reductions or

exemption by 31.12.2004 and after that date every 12 months

Transposition


10

Promotion of CHP

• Definition of CHP - E E criteria to define high efficiency CHP• Guarantee of origin• Easier access to electricity grid• Reporting on national potential for high efficiency CHP,

barriers, implementation and progress

• Increase energy efficiency• Improve security of energy supply• Promote cogeneration for primary energy saving

Proposed measures

Directive 2004/8/CE of 11 February 2004OJ L 52, p. 50 of 21.2.2004


11

•To improve the environmental performance of energy-using products during their whole life cycle by setting requirements at the design stage

•Proposal on Energy-end-use Efficiency and Energy Services•To promote cost-effective energy efficiency with targets, mechanisms, incentives, institutional, financial & legal frameworks

Directive on ECO-design of Energy-Using Products

•Directive 2002/91/EC Energy Performance of Buildings• Promoting the improvement of energy performance of buildings within the EU through cost-effective measures•Savings potential of around 22% by 2010 for energy used in heating, air- conditioning, hot water and lighting
