Energy Charter Review of EES&L Analysis by Klinckenberg Consultants Background to PEEREA WG discussion

Identify approaches used in ECS countries

Assess effectiveness of approaches

Focus on non-EU Economies in transition

Suggest areas for cooperative work

Case for Energy Efficiency Standards and Labels

EE S&L:1. Help the market recognise energy performance

2. Provide consumers with tool to select products with lower running cost

3. Provide manufacturers with tool to differentiate products

4. Lead to huge net economic gains (if done properly)

5. Lead to important energy and CO2 savings

Role of EE S&L in Product Policy

Benefits of EE S&L

1. Very large energy savings, estimated $4.8 billion for Australia, $ 100 billion for USA by 2020

2. Extremely effective mechanism for saving energy and reducing GHG emissions

3. Relatively easy to implement and manage

4. Create level playing field for manufacturers

5. Can be internationally harmonised

6. Results are comparatively assured

EES&L for AutomobilesDifferences in labelling approaches• Urban, highway or both• Fuel efficiency or CO2• Test cycles• Include costs?• Stars, ranges?

Issues for regulators• Voluntary to mandatory (Japan, EU)• Used vehicles (New Zealand)• Dynamic (eg Top-runner) or static• Problems from class boundaries• Heavy Vehicles (Japan)

7

International Cooperation Can Help

EU, APEC, US all developing international standards• APEC-ESIS database promotes transparency and trade• Energy Star a global brand

Communities of Practice promote consistency• Common test procedures• Common performance banding• CFLs, STBs, Motors

Other potential• Verification results• Testing laboratories

Moldova 300 GWh $ 30 MNotes: (1)Approximately 6% of all electricity can be saved with EE S&L programmes(2)Further savings possible from heating equipment, vehicles, possibly buildings

Key Lessons Learnt in Economies in Transition1. Regulations only deliver when these are properly

mandated and well implemented

2. Access to testing laboratories is essential

3. Leading market parties ask for well-implemented EE S&L

4. Manufacturers can benefit from introducing EE S&L

5. Energy efficiency standards and labels deliver

6. Appropriate mix of standards and labels is needed

11

Possible Framework for Implementing EE S&L

1. Creating awareness of national policy decision makers

2. Enhancing capacities of local experts

3. Developing regional EE S&L strategy
