9-year 9 % indicative target (1% cumulative annual savings) measured from 1.1.2008 until 31.12.2016. Fixed amount of energy (TWh) calculated as 1% of 5-year average of unadjusted final consumption.
Credit for some “early actions” >1995 (1991). But effects must be measurable after 2008.All measures must be verifiable and measurable or estimable. (Details in Annexes I, II, III and IV.)

Upcoming tenders from Commission:Energy Efficiency Potential Study covering all MS + EEA (App. 350.000 Euro)Development of bottom-up & top down methodology + Directive Helpdesk (App. 1.25 mill. Euro)
Both tenders to be signed in 2006.
Supporting instruments
European Commission, Directorate-General for Energy and Transport n° 2919.04.2006
ConclusionsConclusions
Much subsidiarity is left to the Member State on how to reach the indicative targets.EEAPs; the Member State’s will have to re-think their energy efficiency policies and measures.The bottom up model will increase its importance during the target period.The result; more focus on cost effective and measurable / verifiable measures.
European Commission, Directorate-General for Energy and Transport n° 3019.04.2006
ConclusionsConclusions
The energy savings targets would be a strong driver in developing new energy efficiencymarkets.Numerous new business areas, including new energy services, energy auditing, smart metering, billing and financial instruments for energy savings will emerge. New markets + harmonised energy savings calculation methodology would pave the way for higher national targets.
