11 Energy efficiency in Croatia One of the strategic goals is improvement of energy efficiency in every part of energy sector Primary energy intensity in Croatia is much higher then EU-15 average (approximately 20 %) significant potentials for improvements! 11

12 Croatian EE policy - overview Regulatory framework 1. Directive on energy end-use efficiency & energy services ESD 2. Directive on the energy performance of buildings EPBD 3. Labelling of appliances Directive & Implementing Dir. 4. Cogeneration Directive (CHP) 5. Framework Directive on Eco-design 6. Minimum efficiency requirements 7. Energy Star Progr. ENERGY EFFICIENCY Programs, measures projects 1. Governmental 2. Regional/local selfgovernment 3. National energy programmes Economic instruments 1. Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency Fund 2. State aids 3. Special EU&inerntl. projects: CARDS, IPA, CIP/IEE, GEF- UNDP-WB, CBRD 12

13 Labelling of household appliances transposed into the Croatian legislation through The Ordinance on energy efficiency labelling of household appliances (OG 130/07) 13

14 Legislative and institutional briefly Act on Efficient End-use of Energy already adopted and enforced Secondary (implementing) regulation to be implemented in 2010 especially regulation on energy audits, M&V, IT system for monitoring energy savings and energy performance contracting in public sector Institutional setup EE policy implementation responsibility of the Ministry and EE Unit within the Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency Fund 14

15 Goals and outcomes of EEPRoC To obtain a well-documented EE strategy for Croatia: Definition of short-, medium- and long-term quantified goals for EE improvements on the national level and separately, for every sector Identification of and elaboration on all prerequisites necessary for successful implementation of defined action plan, including identification of key stakeholders and definition of their role and responsibilities; List of eligible measures for achieving defined goals for every end-use sector: residential, services, industry, transport; Giving guidelines for monitoring and verification of achieved results in energy savings and reduction of greenhouse gasses. 15

16 Cross-sector and horizontal measures Coordination of energy efficiency and climate change policy: ensuring consistency between EEPRoC and National Strategy for implementation of UNFCCC and Kyoto protocol introduction of EU - ETS Coordination of energy efficiency and RES policy: development of Action plan for RES Taxation: comprehensive study and recommendations for usage of taxation systems for energy efficiency improvements Promotion of innovative financing modes: investigation of potentials for development of ESCO models and 3rd party financing Research & Development: evaluation of up-to-date activities and identification of needs for new projects

17 Cross-sector and horizontal measures Education: inclusion of EE in education programmes for primary and high schools and universities Info campaigns Auditing programmes: training programmes for energy auditors Energy efficiency in buildings: strengthening inspection capacities Appliance labelling: info campaign strengthening State inspectorate capacities, annual public reports Energy consumption metering and informative billing: prescribing the obligation for informative billing in the Act on efficient energy use determination of remaining barriers for individual metering and adoption of legal framework

18 Allocation of national target to end-use sectors Construction 3% Agriculture 4% Services 11% Total PJ Industry 22% Construction 3% Agriculture 4% Services 12% Industry 13% Households 30% Transport 30% Households 34% Transport 34% Energy used by sectors as a percentage of total final energy consumption Energy used by sectors as a percentage of energy consumption within ESD

19 Further activities Removal of the remaining key barriers within RES authorisation procedures, repair the related RES-Esub-laws Development and enactment of the secondary legislation and incentives for RES to heating/cooling systems: sollar thermal, biomass/pellet boiler, heat pumps Participation in EU programe and projects (IPA, INTEREG, CIP- IEE 2 etc) and int. cooperation UNDP/WB Enhancing administrative and institutional capacity in field of EE and RES, in particular in the Ministry Development of guarantee of origin and green certificates scheme Promotion and education, increase of public awareness Consideration and development of the new support schemes (green certificates, white certificates, cost effective aproach etc.) after 2010 following the new RES targets by 2020

20 View Forward EE RES requires policy support, especially in countries with not developed culture of energy efficiency, such as countries of South East Europe Consideration of establish of the Centre of Exellence of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy in order to spread best-practice EE & RE policy and implementation concepts in Energy Community The current development stage of EE market is the starting point for creation of policy instrument mix Policy instruments have to trigger market transformation move the EE market from the deadlock, i.e. to stimulate the demand for EE products and services Underdeveloped EE markets are characterised by the lack of demand caused by lack of information and awareness the need for strong information and education campaign for the wide public! 20
