AGENDA

EED implementation in Germany

- Energy Consumption: Targets, Projection, Monitoring

- Fulfilment of Energy Targets: Regulation or Alternative Measures

- Renovate Public Buildings and do Energy Efficient Public Procurement

- Energy Audits: Obligation for non-SMEs – Subsidies for SMEs

- Promote and protect Energy Service Market (e. g. Performance Contracting)

- Raising Awareness on the Energy Demand Side

- Improve Energy Efficiency of Energy Supply Side (Cogeneration, Infrastructure)

- Removing barriers for financing Energy Efficiency

National Energy Efficiency Target

EED Requirement:

• Indicative national energy efficiency target for 2020; Article 3(1)

Action in Germany:

• Targets of reducing primary energy consumption from 2008 levels by 20 % until 2020 and by 50 % until 2050

Target

Target: Increase of Energy Productivity by 100% until 2020 (compared to 1990)

Target: Primary Energy Reduction by 20% to 2020 and by 50% to 2050 (both compared to 2008)


6

Update on Fulfilment status of Energy Efficiency Target

EED Requirement:

• Updated overview of results with regard to fulfilment of savings targets for final energy consumption; Article 3(1)

Action in Germany:

• “Working Group Energy Balances”: yearly monitoring reports on Industries and private households by questionnaires and interpolation


7

Estimation of Projected total Primary Energy Demand

EED Requirement:

• Estimation of projected total primary energy demand; Article 24(2)

Action at national level:

• Germany undertook an estimate of projected primary energy consumption in 2020 in its “Energy Scenarios 2011”

• Changing expectations (GDP, prices for EUA emissions certificates) will be taken into account in future updates

AGENDA











9

Set up Energy Efficiency Obligation Scheme // Alternatives

EED Requirement:

• Each Member State shall set up energy efficiency obligation scheme for designated energy distributors / retail energy sales companies; Article 7(1-8)

• or Member States may implement alternative policy measures; Article 7(9)


• Germany is making use of the provision on alternative measures


10

Set up Energy Efficiency Obligation Scheme // Alternatives

Examples for Alternative Measures in Germany regarding Article 7(9)

• special taxes on electricity leading to high electricity prices:

o ~0,3 €/kWhel for private households,

o ~0,2 €/kWhel for industries, but only

o but less than ~0,1 €/kWhel for energy intense industries (tax exceptions)

• Industry‘s own commitment: 500 Energy Efficiency Networks (platform for exchange of experience between companies: ~15 companies per network meeting 2-4 times a year consulting each other)

AGENDA











12

Fulfill Exemplary Role of Public Bodies‘ Buildings

EED Requirement:

• 3 % of total floor area of heated / cooled central government buildings is renovated each year; Article 5(1-5)

• or: other cost-effective measures, including deep renovations and measures for behavioural change to achieve the same savings; Article 5(6)


• No systematic approach yet to identifying public buildings with highest potential savings, but renovation takes place

• Subsidies for communities: renovations of public buildings


13

Purchasing off EE products by Public Bodies

EED Requirement:

• Member States shall ensure that central governments purchase only products, services and buildings with high energy-efficiency performance; Article 6

EED Requirement:

• Member States shall promote and monitor the energy service market and prevent energy suppliers from harming the market; Article 18


Integration into Energy Service Directive: Federal Agency for Energy Efficiency (BfEE) is obliged to:

• provide information on energy services (things to look at before agreeing to a contract, raising awareness on available promotional schemes like subsidies)

• undertake analysis and submit proposals for future market developments

• ensure that energy services market is protected against energy suppliers interests
