SMART AND CLEAN ENERGY FOR ALL

1 #EnergyUnion

Energy Efficiency policies in

the European Union US-German energy efficiency event,

Berlin 4 May 2017


2 #EnergyUnion

ENERGY EFFICIENCY FIRST PRINCIPLE

The cheapest energy is the one that we do not consume

WHY?

Energy efficiency should be considered as a source of

energy in itself:

It is endless

It is available everywhere


3 #EnergyUnion

ENERGY EFFICIENCY IS THE MOST COST-EFFECTIVE WAY OF ACHIEVING ENERGY

UNION OBJECTIVES…


4 #EnergyUnion

EXISTING EU POLICY FRAMEWORK FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Energy Efficiency

Directive 2012/27/EU

Ecodesign

Directive 2009/125/EC

Energy Performance of Buildings


Energy Labelling


Financing Energy Efficiency

European Structural Investment Fund; Horizon 2020; LIFE + funding; European Fund for Strategic

Investments; Member State programmes; etc.


5 #EnergyUnion

IT IS NOT A DREAM…

65 lm/W ~ 1.5W

120 lm/W ~ 0.83W

WHY DO WE NEED NEW POLICY THEN?


8 #EnergyUnion

Building renovation has to do more

Review of EPBD

Review of Art. 7 EED

POLICY CONCLUSIONS FOR 2030

Financing has a more important role to play

Smart Finance for Smart Buildings

Digital/ICT has a big potential to contribute

Capture behavioural change and demand response potentials,

contractually guaranteed energy savings as business model

Development of a 'smart readiness indicator' for buildings

Promote electro-mobility in building codes

Review of articles 9-11 EED


9 #EnergyUnion

WHAT PIECES OF LEGISLATION?


10 #EnergyUnion

Adapting to Energy and Climate 2030 Framework

Streamlining, simplifying and increasing coherence with other

elements of the package, namely:

• New governance regulation

• New electricity market design

• Update of legislation on renewables

OBJECTIVES

ENERGY EFFICIENCY DIRECTIVE (EED)


11 #EnergyUnion

With a 30% target, the Union’s 2030 energy consumption cannot exceed

1321 Mtoe of primary energy consumption and 987 Mtoe of final energy

consumption.

This equals a 23% reduction in primary energy consumption compared to

historical 2005 energy consumption levels (-17% in final energy consumption).

Keeping the momentum: We need approximately the same energy efficiency

effort from 2020 to 2030 as from 2010 to 2020.

ACHIEVING THE 30% ENERGY EFFICIENCY TARGET BY 2030

WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE?


12 #EnergyUnion

THE WAY FORWARD


13 #EnergyUnion

Union’s commitment towards its international climate and energy goals in 2030

and beyond

Energy efficiency on equal footing with the other 2030 climate and energy

targets

Endorse the Union’s commitment under the Energy Union Framework to put

‘energy efficiency first’

Give investors the security that it is worth investing in energy efficiency, with

positive impact on the technology costs and payback periods.

OBJECTIVES

WHY DO WE NEED AN EU BINDING TARGET?

Coherent governance process is needed to ensure that there is no ambition and delivery

gap towards the Union's 2030 energy efficiency target.


14 #EnergyUnion

• Attracting private investment

for energy efficiency

renovations

Extending existing energy

saving obligations beyond

2020 (1.5%/year)

Strengthening the social

dimension

Improving

coherence with the

EPBD

ENERGY SAVINGS

(ARTICLE 7 EED)

• Lower energy bills for

consumers and reduced

energy demand

• Requiring MS to consider

energy poverty in designing

energy efficiency obligation

schemes or alternative

measures

• Increasing buildings

renovation rate

• Simplifying and streamlining


15 #EnergyUnion

Contribute to deliver a New Deal for Energy Consumers:

Clarification of the EED provisions on metering and billing for thermal

energy (district heating/cooling, central supply of heat/cooling/hot water).

Ensuring access to clearer consumption information and more

frequent feedback for consumers in multiple-apartment buildings.

New meters to be remotely readable by 2020, and existing meters

to be adapted to be remotely readable by 2027 where this is cost

effective.

METERING AND BILLING PROVISIONS

(ARTICLES 9-11 EED)


16 #EnergyUnion

• Smart

• To encourage the use of ICT and smart technologies ensuring buildings operate

efficiently:

• By introducing building automation and control systems as alternative to physical

inspections;

• By encouraging the roll out of the required infrastructure for

e-mobility (with focus on large commercial buildings and excluding public

buildings and SMEs);

• By introducing a smartness indicator to assess the technological readiness of the

building to interact with the occupants, the grid, while managing itself efficiently

• Simple

• By streamlining outdated or cumbersome provisions that have not delivered the

expected output

ENERGY PERFORMANCE OF BUILDINGS DIRECTIVE (EPBD)

SMARTER AND MORE SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGS FASTER


17 #EnergyUnion

• Supporting an increased renovation rate

• Strengthened provisions on national renovation strategies, with a long term

vision and more detailed financial mechanisms

• Provisions in Article 4 of Directive 2012/27/EU (EED) are now part of a new

article 2a

• Completed with: (1) Vision of a decarbonised building stock by 2050; and

(2) Smart Finance for Smart Buildings approach to mobilisation of

investment.

• Creating a stronger link between financial measures, energy performance

certificates and the quality of renovation – Article 10;

• Gather good quality data on the energy consumption of the building stock–

Article 10;

• Improve transparency and consistency in the way energy performance of

buildings is determined at national or regional level – Annex I.

SMARTER AND MORE SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGS FASTER

REVISED EPBD: BOOSTING BUILDING RENOVATION


18 #EnergyUnion

Supporting market transformation and innovation towards high-quality products

with lower environmental impacts by:

Banning inefficient products from the market through ecodesign

• by setting minimum requirements for energy-related products to improve their

environmental performance

• by regularly updating existing minimum requirements to align with technological

progress

Informing consumers about efficient products through energy labelling

• by improving the effectiveness of the energy label (e.g. abolishing the A+ to A+++

classes)

• by strengthening compliance (e.g. product registration)

ECODESIGN AND LABELLING DIRECTIVES


19 #EnergyUnion

IS IT SUFFICIENT TO SET THE RIGHT REGULATORY FRAMEWORK?

NEED FOR FACILITATING MEASURES TO ENABLE SHORT TO MEDIUM TERM ACTION

Setting the right incentives for investment in the energy transition and maximising the use of public funds

Delivering on social concerns and job training to ensure a socially fair energy transition

Driving digitalisation forward to enable new energy technologies

Delivering on key energy infrastructure projects

Accelerating innovation to support leadership e.g. in advanced RES

Ensuring multi-stakeholder action

External dimension: Fostering security of supply and promoting clean energy measures abroad
