1 United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Case study ALBANIA Ervin Shehaj Director of the Directory of Renewable Resources April 2014 Bangkok, Thailand

2 1. Albania 2. Final Energy Consumption 3. Success Factor Strategic/legal framework 4. Student City action 5. Recommendations 6. Conclusions

3 Population: 3.2 Million people Area: km 2 Natural resources: water, oil, corm, cupper, biomass, lignite, stone, solar, wind GDP: 60 % services 19 % industry 21 % agriculture Gross energy consumption: 2014 Ktoe Final energy consumption: 1817 Ktoe

4 Energy used: Electricity: 1628 MW HPPs, 98 MW TPP and import Heat: biomass (wood), electricity, LPG( no gas) Transport: refined petroleum products Domestic and import Consumption by sectors: Transport 40 % Households and services 36 % Industry 17 % Building Sector public, households and services Building stock does not exist Data on buildings National statistics office (households + construction sector)

5 National statistics # of dwellings (households + some services) 1,075,881 54/46 % - urban/rural 25 % temporarily not in use or seasonally used 48 % older than 30 yrs (15 % are 50 +) 80 % of dwellings used for households - brick and concrete Energy savings potential per sector (EES 20012): Transport 10 % Buildings 30 % Services 20 % Industry 15 % Assuming cost effective measures: walls and roof insulation EE lighting RES for households/heating system

6 4. Success factors: POLICIES AND REGULATIONS : National Energy Strategy 2013 until 2030 (Drafted) The objective of the Strategy is restructuring of the energy sector based on market economy principles and developing a modern energy policy. EE Strategy 2020 Implementation of energy efficiency measures in the public, commercial, industrial and residential sector. National Energy Action Plan The main goal of EE Action plan is achieving 9% savings in the final energy consumption until Energy Efficiency Law 2005, The Energy Building Code (2003) Law On the indication by labeling and standard product information of the consumption of energy and other resources by household appliances, (2009) Adopted Energy Efficiency Law and Energy Performance of Buildings

7 Main institutions in EE policy field Government of the Republic of Albania Ministry of Energy and Industry, Energy department National Agency of Natural Resources of the Republic of Albania Regulatory Commission for energy of the Republic of Albania

8 CURRENT FINANCIAL STATUS Energy Efficiency fond does not exist yet. The ESCO concept is not a reality yet. Undeveloped EE services and financing mechanisms under the energy saving performance contracting (ESPC). Only construction companies, design institutes and energy consultants are providing the basic lines of EE services. Lack of wide range of EE service providers as well as lack of financial resources. Projects KfW project ( ) 6 million - 1 Student City edu buildings IPA project (MEI ) 1.6 million - 10 buildings (9 edu + 1 public)

9 4. Public buildings actions (Student City, Tirana)

10 Student City 1/2 Actual Situation

11 Situation in student City.

12 Basic Ideas of Renovation.

13 Student City 2 -After improvement.

14 CURRENT FINANCIAL for Intervention Solar thermal system: 300 m² collector area Thermal insulation walls: m² Thermal insulation roof: 660 m² New windows: 290 m² Electric radiators: ventilation system: New electric system Electric boiling plates: 123 rooms Exhaust 6 shower rooms m² living area 123 rooms

15 Energy efficiency measures Installation of ETICS (external thermal insulation compound system; 10 cm; λ 0,04 W/(m²K)) at the walls Thermal roof insulation (10 cm; λ 0,04 W/(m²K)) New windows (U W 1,4 W/(m²K) Solar thermal system for domestic hot water New heating system (oil boiler or electrical heaters)

16 Table of Investment (estimation for one building) proposed EE measures ETICS (external thermal insulation compound system) estimated investment cost ( ) useful energy saved (MWh/year) end energy saved (MWh/year) saving potential ( /year) payback period (years) ,7 percentage of useful energy savings (%) percentage of end energy savings (%) 26,2 21,2 Thermal insulation and sealing of roof ,6 14,4 11,7 Replacement of doors and ,6 fenestration 11,7 9,5 Solar thermal system and electric ,4 boiler 7,6 25,3 Total package and electric heaters ,5 60,0 67,8 Total package and split units ,7 60,0 74,8 Total package and oil boiler ,8 60,0 64,2 Total investment costs for the renovation of the complete SC 2 with all its 4 buildings with 3960 m2 is estimated between MEUR 5.2 without 20% VAT

17 [ 1] Project Schedule

18 5.Recommendations 4 reasons for success of EE programs: Clear and strong political support (strategies, legislation) Strong public campaign awareness raising Giving good examples (public buildings often used by citizens) Financing - for start gov t loans, public funds Recommendations Building stock needed/better statistical data on buildings Regulatory framework implementing EPBD directive 2010/31/EC is late, need to prepare for implementation of 2012/27/EC directive All programs need to have good monitoring and measurements of energy use before and after Involvement of private sector into energy efficiency financing (legal framework and transparent and clear procedures)

19 6. Conclusions Energy savings potential in building sector in Albania is up to 45 % building envelope, heating systems and energy management Political support and awareness have been raised Strategic framework exists with actions plans, but there is a need for better monitoring and verification of realized activities and results Legal and regulatory framework need to be much faster improving and adapting to new obligations but coupled with experience from implementation Better statistical data is needed, regarding buildings and energy consumption in them Existing successful programmes financed through government loans and public budget for faster improvement in energy efficiency need for involvement of private sector and funds
