National Action Plan on Energy Efficiency (NAPE) German Federal Government launched NAPE on 3 December 2014 Comprehensive strategy Covers all sectors and social actors Common principle: Supply information Provide support Demand action Energy Efficiency now twin pillar to renewables expansion in the german energy transition 4
Key pillars of the NAPE Stepping up energy efficiency in buildings Energy efficiency as a return and business model Individual responsibility for energy efficiency All the measures under the NAPE adhere to a common principle: supply information - provide support - demand action. 5
Source: BMWi 2014 NAPE: Efficiency measures and their expected savings Quality assurance and optimising of energy consulting Tax incentives for energy-efficient renovations Continuation and increased funding of the CO2 building renovation programme Promoting energy performance contracting National energy-efficiency label for old heating installations National top runner initiative Introduction of a competitive tendering scheme for energy efficiency 72-76.5 PJ savings 4.0 PJ 40.0 PJ 12.5 PJ 5.5-10 PJ 10.0 PJ 111-136.5 PJ savings 85.0 PJ 26-51.5 PJ Upgrading the KfW energy efficiency programmes Energy efficiency networks initiative Obligation to perform energy audits for non-smes 29.5 PJ 74.5 PJ 50.5 PJ 154.5 PJ savings A balance of information, support and regulation. 6
Source: European Commission 2014, BMWi 2014 NAPE: Economic effects of additional investments Further investments stimulate economic growth Additional investments and cost savings More jobs, especially in construction Additional Investments 70-80 Bio. 18 Bio. Energy cost savings until 2020 Total cost savings over lifetime 90-100 Bio. The strengthening of energy efficiency measures stimulates various economic effects. 7
Stepping up energy efficiency in buildings, i.a. Continuation and upgrading (+200 million p.a.) of CO2 Building Renovation Programme (introduction of new subsidy assessment standard; allocation of 300 million for grant funding; extension to commercial buildings) Quality assurance and optimizing of current energy consulting (e.g. on-site consultations with renovation roadmaps for phased renovations) Introduction of heating checks (using voluntary local heating checks whereby specialists [e.g. craftworkers or chimney sweeps] pinpoint weak points of existing heating systems) The Energiewende can only be successful if existing buildings are included. 8
Competitive tendering scheme for energy efficiency Initial focus on electricity; extension to heat over time; first tendering procedure end of 2015 (pilot) Measures with the most economic cost-benefit ratio will be awarded Measures on company/institution level as well as bundled projects Open auctions (twice a year) plus closed auctions for specific technologies (circulating pumps, IT-technology, etc.) The tendering scheme will motivate ESCOs, municipal utilities, energy cooperatives, manufacturers and others to identify economic ways to save energy. 9
Energy efficiency networks initiative Regional best-practice exchange among 8-15 company practitioners in one network Pilot project with 30 networks (10% energy savings over 5 years) and 30 networks implemented by utility Goal of agreement between Federal Government and 18 industry, commerce and trade associations: 500 networks until 2020 Criteria: Conduct of energy audit through participating companies Setting a mutual efficiency target for the network as a whole Guidance by energy efficiency experts Monitoring by the Federal Government EE networks are a suitable instrument for advancing a culture of energy efficiency in industry, commerce and trade. 10
Long-term work processes Long-term Energy Efficiency Strategy for Buildings Bundling and quality assurance of advisory services for energy consumers Identifying innovative financing schemes for energy efficiency Improving the framework for energy efficiency services 11
