Main Energy Priorities

1. Increasing energy efficiency2. Achieving a properly functioning

internal market for gas and electricity3. Promoting renewable energy4. Strengthening nuclear safety and

security5. Security of Europe’s energy supplies and

further developing external energy policy relations

6. Improving the links between energy policies and environmental and research policies

Financial obstacles & lack of transparency for risks and costs /benefits

Atomised and fragmented market Lack of functioning market for energy efficiency

(few standardised goods/services) No transparent and cost-reflective prices Lack of information, education & training

Regulatory failure

Obstacles: Why potential not realised

In theory market will achieve the best result, but

Directive proposals


The Buildings DirectiveThe Buildings Directive (2002/91/EC)(2002/91/EC)

1. Common method to calculate the energy performance of buildings. Method to include all factors that impact on energy consumption and can be adapted to building types (homes, offices, schools, etc.)

2. Set minimum energy performance standards to new buildings and large existing buildings being refurbished.

3. Certification schemes for all buildings (new, sold, rented)

4. Display of certificates in public buildings

5. Inspection & assessment of boilers/heating and cooling installations

The content


The Eco-design Directive The Eco-design Directive (2005/32/EC)(2005/32/EC)

The content

• The Directive aims to facilitate free movement of goods and to improve environmental performance of products throughout their life-cycle by integration of environmental aspects in product design

• Selection of products: • Products with significant volume of sales, life-time impact & potential to change;

• Balance between ecological requirements, technical /economic feasibility;

• Health & safety + life-cycle costs will also be important



Current activities

• Adopted by EP and Council on 7 July 2005

• Technical & economical studies to provide background info on 13 products (+ 1 horizontal):

• Boilers, water heaters, computers, copiers/faxes/printers, televisions, battery chargers, office lighting, street lighting, air conditioning, electric motors, commercial fridges/freezers/ vending machines, domestic fridges & freezers, washing machines & dishwashers + study on standby equipment.

• Tender contract signed in late 2005• Studies recommend which improvement measures to be undertaken (voluntary agreements, directives etc)



Next steps

• The Commission will develop a working plan with an indicative list of products by July 2007

• Interested parties will further be consulted in the context of a “Consultation Forum”

• A Regulatory Committee to be consulted on the concrete eco-design requirement for each affected product

• The draft implementing measure to be checked by WTO and EP before final adoption by Commission


The Energy Services Directive

To promote cost-effective energy efficiency in EU Member States through obligations and the removal of institutional, financial and legal barriers.

To promote the development of a sustainable market for energy efficiency and energy services.

Article 1: Objective


The Energy Efficiency Directive

Covers all energy end-use suppliers (distributors and retailers of electricity, natural gas, LNG, LPG, district heating & cooling, heating oil, coal, lignite, peat, biomass, & transport fuels).

Aviation fuels & maritime bunkers excluded. Small companies < 75 GWh/yr. excl from Art. 6 and 13.

Covers all providers of energy efficiency improvement measures.

Covers all energy end-use sectors: - domestic, agricultural, public and tertiary sectors- non-energy intensive industries and transport

Emissions Trading sector excluded.

Article 2: Scope



Measured from 1.1.2008 until end of 2016. 9-year 9 % target (1% cum annual savings). Indicative but carefully monitored & reported. Fixed amount of energy (TWh) calculated as 1%

of 5-year average of unadjusted final cons. Credit for some “early actions” <1995 (1991). All measures must be verifiable and measurable or

estimable. (Details Annexes I, II, III & IV.) Commission to revisit White Certificates

Article 4: The target



The Public Sector in Member States shall: publish energy efficiency guidelines as assessment

criteria in tendering for public contracts; select two mandatory measures from list in Annex

V, req. energy-efficient public procurement, energy audits & energy performance contracting.

Article 5: Public Sector Obligations



Member States & suppliers to promote energy services & energy efficiency.

Obligation for energy distribution and/or retail energy sales companies: - to offer energy services, energy audits & energy efficiency measures or contribute to energy efficiency fund.

Energy companies to help remove market barriers, & not hinder market development.

Article 6: Obligation on Energy Suppliers



Article 13: Metering &Billing

• Article 14: Reporting

• Tariffs, Audits, Information Comitology


The Green Paper on security of supply (2000)

Energy dependency in EU-25 is 50% and will reach 70% by 2030

EU does not have great room of manoeuvre on the supply side

Stakeholders recognised need to deal with demand side of energy policy


The Green Paper on Energy Efficiency

An ambitious goal of 20% cost effective reduction by 2020 compared with current consumption. Half of potential realised with existing legislation Technical potential increasing with innovation Green Paper debate. Stakeholders opinions and answers to 25 questions asked. The consultation process ended end of March 2006 Commission followed-up with Consultation Report Action Plan and Impact Assessment.


Objective: To present package of structured, timed & coherent initiatives to realise potential

Method: (a) by improving implementation of and compliance with existing legislation;

(b) by announcing amended and new initiativesScope: All end-use sectors, public sector &

energy transformation sector (Green Paper EE) Timeline: 1.2007 – 12.2012
