Slide3: national regulation
to ensure compatibility of budgetary allocations and strategies
sets demands for the content of the strategy
2006/32/EC Energy Efficiency Action Plan 2007-2013: requirements
Structure of the Energy Demand (2005): Structure of the Energy Demand (2005) TFC = 31.7 TWh public sector in details:
public admin. – 1.6%
health & educ. – 3.2%
other PS – 1.1%
total – 5.9%
Factors limiting improvement in energy efficiency: Factors limiting improvement in energy efficiency pricing of fuel and energy
fragmented energy saving potential
inadequate structures to intervene in new sectors
lack of specialists and engineers
increased welfare
limited awareness of energy consumers
lacking (energy) statistics
public sector does not lead by example
General features of the NEEAP: General features of the NEEAP the scope
agriculture, industry, commercial and public services, households, district heating
transport is not included (as this is covered by existing strategies: national Transport Development Plan)
Four policy areas of NEEAP (1/2): Four policy areas of NEEAP (1/2) availability of information
focuses on improving the awareness of energy consumers, eg. through supplying the information in energy bills, websites, includes specialised measures for local governments and SME’s
availability of know-how and specialists
to increase the number of people able to implement energy saving measures, eg. promotion of market for some services (energy audits), development of know-how, practice of energy services
Four policy areas of NEEAP (2/2): Four policy areas of NEEAP (2/2) energy efficiency improvements in energy production, distribution and consumption
promotion of investments to energy efficiency through direct grants, obligations to energy suppliers and instruments improving the attractiveness of energy efficiency investments
fulfilling the obligations of Member State to the EU
transposition of EU directives in EE field and getting prepared for actions under Commission’s Energy Efficiency Action Plan
Difficulties in the development of NEEAP: Difficulties in the development of NEEAP assessment of the effect of the measures
no experience with monitoring system, no obligation to monitor the EE effect measures
structural changes in economy still large and EE measures are consequences of many different factors
no institutional capacity, methodological problems
lack of earlier co-operation with energy distributors
bureaucratic governmental process to develop new strategies
Key criterion for a success:: Key criterion for a success: extended ground for EE policy implementation
Conclusions: Conclusions draft NEEAP is developed, defines actions in four cross-sectoral areas
awareness
education and know-how
investments
following EU policy in EE field (legislative measures)
according to the demands set in the directive, the 9% indicative target for Estonia would be 9.8 PJ (2008-2016)
it is essential to involve energy suppliers in work related to improvement of energy efficiency
