1. What's new on energy efficiency at DG ENERGY in 2016
EIONET Meeting
Copenhagen, 10th-11th March 2016
What's new on energy efficiency at
DG ENERGY in 2016
A story of strategic planning, reviewing legislation and monitoring progress
Bogdan Atanasiu on behalf of
Energy Efficiency Unit
DG ENER, European Commission

2. Delivering the Energy Union:
A dynamic and coherent energy and climate governance
Integrated energy and climate governance
Streamlined planning and reporting
Enhance cooperation
MS – EC,
Regular EC reporting to EuP and Council
Improved data analysis and intelligence based on key indicators
A 5D Strategy:
Energy security, solidarity and trust
Fully integrated European energy market
Energy efficiency and moderation of energy demand
Decarbonising the economy
Research, Innovation and Competitiveness

3. Delivering on energy efficiency
A new Heating & Cooling Strategy (16 Feb. 2016)
Scope: H&C in buildings and in industry
Key points: facilitating deeper energy renovation, increasing RES share, reuse of wasted energy from industry, further involving consumers and industry
Now and then:
today: ~ 50% of EU energy consumption, too much energy waste
long-term vision by 2050: up to 70% more efficient and 85% less CO2 emitting buildings, air pollution eliminated, heating bills 70% lower, production processes 30-50% less energy intensive
Review of the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) and Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD)
To frame them into 2030 perspective
To check effectiveness and further improve where needed
Ongoing evaluations and impact Assessments
Adoption foreseen for September 2016
MS should draw on positive examples of measures in other MS! (Exchange of best practices)
Art. 7: Savings achieved under Article 7 needs to be reported in the Annual Reports!

4. Monitoring energy efficiency progress
Article 24 (3) EED - The Commission:
shall evaluate the annual reports and NEEAPs,
assess progress towards national energy efficiency targets
may issue recommendations to Member States.
Energy Efficiency progress report 2016: 4th quarter (as part of the 2nd State of the Energy Union Report)
Energy Efficiency Progress Report 2015:18 Nov. 2015
2 indicators on 2020 target (primary/final energy consumption)
15 backwards-looking performance indicators for 5 sectors
Acc. by SWD(2015)245 with detailed description of indicators
Based on official Eurostat statistical data :
Exception 'Energy consumption per square meter'  data source: Mure-Odyssee
No methodology to compare MS with each other  instead: historical trends
No evaluation of different policies of MS  instead: performance indicators

5. Energy efficiency indicators (1)
Overall assessment
Ambition level:
National indicative national targets 2020 (final and primary) vs. GDP forecast (of the EC)
Effort needed by 2020 (in terms of trends and pace):
The annual consumption trends vs. rate of decrease to reach the indicative national targets (primary and final)
Short-term progress: 2012/2013 evolution (primary and final)
Historical progress:
primary energy intensity
In 8 MS the past energy reduction rate would not be sufficient to reach their target 2020 expressed in final energy consumption (7 MS for PEC)

6. Energy efficiency indicators (2)
Trends by main sectors
Households
Final energy consumption per capita (climate corrected)
Final energy consumption per m2 (climate corrected)
Services
Energy intensity
Transport
Total final energy consumption
Share of collective passenger transport means
Share of railway and inland waterway freight transport
Industry
energy intensity
Generation
Heat generated by CHP plants
Transformation output of DH plants
Transformation output/input ratio for thermal generation
