Energy Efficiency Obligations (EEOs) not a new feature in the EU • Denmark: DSM/IRP since 1995, EEOs since 2006 • UK system since 1994: Supplier Obligations. Replaced
by CERT (Carbon Emissions Reductions targets) and since 2012 ECO (Energy Company Obligation).
• France: Savings “White” Certificates (2005) • Italy: White certificates (2005) • Flanders: Established EEO, (but may be moving from
savings target to measures target. Not clear.)

Energy Efficiency Obligations are key part of the EE Directive • Obligations are very important feature (Art 7) • Coupled with indicative savings targets of 1,5%/yr
(10,5% 2014–2020) • EU Member States can opt out
… but must achieve target! • More and more EU Member States choose obligations

EU will have ~20 countries with EEO systems Since before • Denmark, France, Italy, GB, Belgium/Flanders Relatively new countries (recent years) • Austria, Ireland, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, (Bulgaria?) Planning to launch or decided • 3 Baltic States, Luxembourg, Slovakia, Spain Considering to introduce • Czech Republic, Croatia, Hungary

Savings must be reported in a coherent fashion in the EED • EED Article 7 sets a framework that allows much
freedom (remember – MS can even opt out if they do other measures with similar)
• Guidelines and interpretation documents communicated to all MS
• The national savings targets are thus converted into a common format to be comparable
• Indicative savings targets of 1,5%/yr (10,5% 2014–2020)

Many ways to calculate savings

France lifetime delivered energy Italy Cumulative 5 year primary energy GB lifetime CO2
Denmark 1st year delivered energy

Danish costs of savings in 2011
2015-02-26 • EEW @ WSED EU Energy Saving Obligations
• Less than 5 €Cent/KWh first year savings • 0,5 €Cent/kWh with an average life of 10 years
Companies
Savings Mio. kWh
Total costs Mio. Euro
Cost Cents/kWh
Gas 385 22 5,6 Electricity 855 48 5,6 District heating 728 24 3,3 Oil 72 2 4,5 Total 2.040 97 4,7

3% prices increase or 3% to EEOs?

Example Denmark: Strong long-term policy give big improvements
• Decoupling energy consumption and economic growth
• Also during the current economic crises
• Many policies and measures have been implemented since 1979 – Energy taxes – Regulation – Information and change
of behaviour

Why DK has chosen EEOs? It’s not one or the other! • Need to do more on EE • Voluntary agreements since 2006 • Help to implementation is important
– Savings in existing buildings and industry are complicated – Close to the consumers and cover all part of a country
• A secure and stable way to finance energy savings activities – Difficult to get money over the state budget
• Transformation of the utilities to energy service providers – Deliver energy services in the cheapest way to consumers

Who can do the job? Examples • The distribution companies – DK (but regulated
monopolies so they have to involve an actor – Can be another company in the same group – But is very often a private engineering company or a
plumber, construction company, etc. • Electricity or gas suppliers - UK, FR • There can be several links from the utility to the
consumer

Strive for market-based systems • Market oriented and transparent • Easy to use for consumers (domestic or commercial) • Deemed savings for standard measures • Involve many actors – build an efficiency industry • All kind of energy service providers should be promoted • Keep the rules simple!

Challenges • Additionality (free riders) • Difficult to measure some actions
– Especially in the building sector • Market and other actors – friction
– Some actors argue that the energy companies have advantages
• Keep the rules simple – Low cost for administration is very important
• Some central resources needed to set up and control system (a regulator)
• Difficult in the beginning – Don’t give up!

EEOs fit with other measures • EEOs complement other measures • EEOs interact with other measures • EEOs are more successful if they exist in a
context with other measures

Cheap with secure funding • Lower costs over time through learning and
increased volumes • Not relying on public expenditure • EEOs can be tailored to fit specific country
situations • Driver for market transformation
