3 The EU energy efficiency legal framework Efficiency Directive 2012/27/EU Performance of Buildings Directive 2010/31/EU Delivering the 2020 goal Ecodesign Directive 2009/125/EC Labelling Directive 2010/30/EU 3

4 2015 objectives 1. Implementing the current legal and policy framework 2. Empowering consumers/end-users 3. Increasing investment in energy efficiency 4. Preparing the ground for achieving additional savings beyond 2020

5 The EED 30 April Dec Jan Indicative national energy efficiency targets Key decisions on energy efficiency obligations (or alternatives) 3% renovation obligation starts 30 April 2014 National Efficiency Action Plans 30 April June June Dec Long-term building renovation strategies Main transposition deadline Assessment of potential in gas and electricity infrastructure Assessment of potential for district heating and cogeneration 5

9 Progress 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 9

10 There is progress in setting the right legislative framework NEEAPs point to a strengthening of current Member States policies and the setting in place of new ones. The number of Member States applying energy efficiency obligation schemes for utilities is rising Financing mechanisms under the European Structural and Investment Funds are being diversified, with greater use of financial instruments.

11 In several cases, transposition and enforcement is delayed Only nine Member States have so far notified full transposition of the EED. Seven Member States have not completed the transposition of the EPBD (deadline July 2012). Only a handful of Member States are conducting a proper market surveillance of products covered by efficiency requirements.

12 efficiency of the EU economy is steadily increasing 12

13 2030 climate and energy Framework % GHG 20% RES 20 % EE % GHG RES 27 % EE (review) New Key Indicators New governance system 13

14 Next steps: increase investment Work through the Juncker plan to channel investment in EE Assist MS to effectively use ESIF to leverage private capital (REGIO) Cooperate with financial sector to improve necessary framework conditions for EE investments (e.g. EEFIG) Develop successful instruments further (notably ELENA) H2020 energy efficiency work programme (284 m EUR in 2014/2015) and EASME supervision
