European Commission's perspective on energy efficiency policy and investment Roman Doubrava, Finance Team Leader, DG ENERGY, Energy Efficiency, European Commission 1
Energy efficiency of the EU economy is steadily increasing; and economic growth is being decoupled from energy consumption 2
The legal framework of the EU energy efficiency policy Energy Efficiency Directive 2012/27/EU Energy Performance of Delivering Ecodesign Buildings Directive the 2020 Directive 2009/125/EC goal 2010/31/EU Energy Labelling Directive 2010/30/EU 3
Energy efficiency progress can be observed across all sectors: Between 1995 and 2010 the average consumption of new cars in the EU decreased by 27% New dwellings built today consume on average 40% less than dwellings built 20 years ago The share of refrigerators meeting the highest energy efficiency labelling classes (A and above) increased from less than 5% in 1995 to more than 90% 15 years later EU industry improved its energy intensity by almost 19% between 2001 and 2011, compared with 9% in the US 4
There is progress in setting the right legislative framework: • National Energy Efficiency Action Plans (NEEAP) point to a strengthening of current Member State policies and the establishment of new policies • The number of Member States applying energy efficiency obligation schemes for utilities is expected to rise from five to sixteen. • Financing mechanisms under the European Structural and Investment Funds are being diversified, with greater use of financial instruments. 6
At the same time in several cases the transposition and enforcement of relevant rules is delayed: • Only six Member States have so far notified full transposition of the EED • At the moment, there are nine Member States that still have not completed the transposition process of the EPBD (deadline July 2012). • Only a handful of Member States are conducting a proper market surveillance of products covered by efficiency requirements. 7
2030 climate and energy Framework 20 % 20% 20 % 2020 GHG RES EE 40 % ≥ 27 % 27 % New Key 2030 Indicators GHG RES EE (e.g R&D) (review) New governance system 8
The way towards: The Energy Union Where we want to go: A secure, sustainable, competitive, affordable energy for every European What this means: Energy security, solidarity and trust A fully integrated internal energy market Energy efficiency first Transition to a long-lasting low-carbon society An Energy Union for Research, Innovation and Competiveness How we want to reach it: 9
1 Secure supplies We have to become less dependent on energy from outside the EU: This means increasing transparency on gas supply; diversifying sources, supplies and routes; working together on security of supply and developing a stronger European role in global energy markets. 2 Internal energy market Energy should flow freely across the EU – without any technical or regulatory barriers: This means connecting markets through interconnections and implementing and upgrading the internal market's software while enhancing regional cooperation and empowering consumers. 4 Emissions reduction An ambitious climate policy is an integral part of our Energy Union: The next challenge will be to enforce the 2030 energy and climate framework, while becoming the number one in renewables. 5 Research & innovation Developing EU technological leadership in low carbon technologies 10
3 Energy efficiency Rethink energy efficiency as an energy source in its own right This means increasing energy efficiency, in particular in the building sector, and promoting an energy-efficient and decarbonized transport sector as well as efficient products. 11
Energy efficiency - Concrete actions Review the Energy Efficiency Directive EU strategy for Heating and Review the EPBD Cooling Strengthened financial Review the Energy instruments to support Labelling and investments in energy Ecodesign efficiency Directives 12
Main challenges… Putting in place the right policy framework • Effective implementation of current framework • Revision in the short and mid-term of certain elements of the framework (e.g. Energy Labelling; Art 7 and other elements under the EED) Mobilising investments • Effective use of European Structural and Investment Funds and other funding (EIC, H2020 etc.) • Work with the financial sector to create the right framework conditions for investment (e.g. development of the right standards) • Stimulate demand (through a robust implementation of existing and future rules, e.g. on EPCs) 13
