Making energy efficiency in Europe more effective
About eceee • More than 70 member organisations • 300 individual members • Secretariat based in Stockholm • European expert efficiency NGO: evidence-
based knowledge, information and analysis • eceee Summer Study every odd year in
Southern France – 450 people meet for five days (29 May–3 June 2017)
• Industrial Efficiency event since 2012 2

“there is no realistic or affordable
energy and climate change policy without
a sizeable and vigorous energy efficiency component”
IEA 2016 Energy Efficiency Market Report (10 Oct 2016)
IEA: Energy efficiency markets keep growing
Making energy efficiency in Europe more effective
• Coined “first fuel” as a concept • Lots of energy efficiency resources in all
countries (only resource every country has) • Global energy efficiency gains are
accelerating, even in the current low price environment.
• Energy efficiency will influence global energy markets.
• Energy efficiency is becoming more central in climate change responses.
8
And IEA’s most important conclusion:
Making energy efficiency in Europe more effective
Policy matters! Policy delivers!
9
No time to celebrate
Making energy efficiency in Europe more effective
• Policies are working, but we are in a hurry
• 70% of global energy use is outside of any mandatory efficiency requirements
• Stronger policies required

Taxing energy is not a sufficient energy policy – EEOs vs taxes

Energy efficiency is invisible and need institutional support
• Markets are important, but they don’t exist in a vacuum
• Energy efficiency is not seen as a commodity or a resource
• If we rely on market forces alone, we miss opportunities
• Yes, things happen autonomously, but too slowly

Policy integration
• Public sector can set energy performance requirements – Products – Buildings – Industrial processes
• Innovation procurement • Energy efficiency obligations • Competitions • Energy management • Investment structures, energy services

Integrating multiple benefits can help make efficiency attractive

Minimum energy performance standards very important
Making energy efficiency in Europe more effective
• They work “silently” • Ecodesign/labelling EU’s most successful
policy half of 2020 savings target • More must be done on test standards • More must be done on compliance • They cannot specify the very best
technology, but are still not ambitious enough

LED lamps developed much faster than ecodesign predicted

TVs hurt by low ambition and delays
• A+, A++, A+++ gradual phase in • A+++ label mandatory 2020 (most stringent
level) • But most TVs are A+++ already now! • Ecodesign standards are at 2009 levels • New proposal stalled

Very damaging delays in motor ecodesign process.
Since 2014: • No progress on motors
– scope – abandon IE2 – start with MEPS for losses of VFD
• Fan regulations stalled… • water pump regulations stalled… • Compressor regulation stalled… • all product groups at stand-still
Making energy efficiency in Europe more effective 23
Weak standards and delays costly and dangerous
• High penalty in CO2 and TWh • Hard international competition Other
producers or regions take market shares (MEPS as “sparring partners”)
• We are less productive • Poor air quality • Climate imperative to move ahead • We need to free up resources to other areas
