4. Energy Efficiency Agreements 2017–2025
AGREEMENT PERIOD │ AGREEMENT TERMS │ JOINING
As the main rule, joining the agreement applies to the energy use of the entire company/association
Joining the agreement spans the entire agreement period 2017–2025
If joining takes place before the end of 2018, withdrawal from the agreement is possible at the end of 2020, without possible sanctions relating to energy subsidies
ENERGY EFFICIENCY AGREEMENT PERIOD 2017–2025
1st term 2017–2020 (4 YEARS)
2nd term (5 YEARS)
Implementation period 2014−2020 of the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED)

5. Energy Efficiency Agreements, Finland's first choice in the implementation of the EED
Energy Efficiency Agreements represent the primary measure for Finland to fulfil the strict EU obligations on energy efficiency
Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) (2012/27/EU)
The goal of the Energy Efficiency Agreement results is to cover more than half of the binding national energy savings target set by the EED article 7 for the implementation period 2014−2020.
Voluntary agreements are an alternative to new national legislation or other new coercive means.
The nationally binding energy efficiency obligations can be implemented in Finland through voluntary measures, only if the agreement scheme is comprehensive and meets the set targets on improvement in energy efficiency.

6. Energy Efficiency Agreements
NATIONAL BENEFITS
Increase cost efficiency & and improve operational capabilities in municipalities and companies
The primary means in the implementation of the EU Energy Efficiency Directive (EED)
Serve also to implement the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EBPD)
A central role in Finnish energy policy
Help to meet international climate-related obligations

Facilitate the realization of the obligations set for renewable energy
Create green growth & markets for clean technology solutions
Improve Finland’s security of supply and self-sufficiency on energy
Exclude the detrimental effects caused by taxation or legislation on the competitive edge of companies
An alternative and supplementary aid for new legislation/coercive measures

7. Energy Efficiency Agreement
BENEFITS FOR THE JOINING PARTICIPANT
Improving energy efficiency will turn into a useful mode of action
Pruning unnecessary energy costs will improve profitability and operating profit
Energy subsidies granted by the Government can be utilized for energy efficiency improvements
Expedient energy use is responsible energy use
The climate load of operations will be reduced
The agreement scheme will become a natural part of management systems
Builds and improves positive public image
A more flexible and sensible alternative for new national legislation or other coercive means

8. Subsidies for energy audits and energy efficiency investments
INDUSTRIES │ MUNICIPALITIES │ PROPERTY AND BUILDING SECTOR
The Government subsidies* the Motiva-model energy audits and analyses.
According to Article 6 of the Energy Efficiency Act (1429/2014), the mandatory energy audits of large companies are not subsidised
The Government subsidies* case-dependently available for energy efficiency investments* using new energy-efficient technology
The participants in Energy Efficiency Agreements can also apply for discretionary subsidies* from the Government for conventional energy efficiency investments
* Energy subsidies are not granted for housing properties

9. Concessions to legally binding obligations
MANDATORY ENERGY AUDITS OF LARGE COMPANIES │ COMPANIES SUBJECT TO AN ENVIRONMENTAL PERMIT
A large company is considered to meet the requirements set in Article 6 of the Energy Efficiency Act (1429/2014) regarding the mandatory energy audit, if
the company has joined an Energy Efficiency Agreement
and
it has implemented an EES+ (Energy Efficiency System +), which does not have to be certified
Companies participating in an Energy Efficiency Agreement and subject to an environmental permit are not subject to any separate requirements relating to energy efficiency in their environmental permits.

10. 14.2 TWh/a 10.9 Concrete savings achieved
The following savings have been achieved in the beginning of the year 2016
through the measures carried out over 2008–2015:
14.2 TWh/a
+ 1 TWh/a clients
10.9
END USE
Saved electricity 3.3 TWh/a
The total amount corresponds to
the annual energy use of over detached houses
Saved heating energy and fuels TWh/a
The impact on savings produced by customer-oriented energy efficiency guidance equals
the annual energy consumption of approx detached houses
Reduction in carbon dioxide emissions 4.2 Million tonnes/a
Savings in energy costs approximately €MILLION 500/a
Investments in energy efficiency over €MILLION 1050

12. Energiatehokkuussopimukset 2017–2025
PARTICIPANT TARGET SETTING − INDUSTRIES* │ MUNICIPAL SECTOR │ PROPERTY SECTOR
Indicative target in energy units will be set in accession documents
Target for the whole period will be set for the year 2025 and intermediate target for the year 2020
Target for the year 2025 corresponds 7.5% of the participant energy use**
Target for the year 2020 corresponds 4% of the participant energy use
The targets will be calculated on the participant’s most recent available energy use which corresponds normal operation
Participant’s absolute energy use need not in years 2020 and 2025 to be less than in the year reported in the accession document
To be countable for the follow up of the achievement of the targets energy savings for the implemented measures need to be in force in the follow up year
* Medium-sized industry and private service sector
* If participant wants to use 2014−2016 reported measures targets are higher (10,5% and 7%)

13. Energiatehokkuussopimukset 2017–2025
EXAMPLE OF TARGET SETTING − INDUSTRIES* │ MUNICIPAL SECTOR │ PROPERTY SECTOR
Indicative energy savings target for the agreement period 2017−2025
Participant’s most recent available energy use which corresponds normal operation MWh
Intermediate target for the year at least 4% = 40 MWh
Target for the whole period for the year 2025 at least 7.5% = 75 MWh
Indicative energy savings target for the period 2014−2025
Intermediate target for the year at least 7% = 70 MWh
Target for the whole period for the year 2025a at least 10.5%= 105 MWh
Participant’s absolute energy use need not in years 2020 and 2025 to be less than in the year reported in the accession document
Energy savings measures which are targeted to the energy use from where the targets are calculated and of which the energy savings are still effective are accepted when the achievement of the targets is followed up
* Medium-sized industry and private service sector

14. Energy Efficiency Agreements 2017−2025
THE JOINING PARTICIPANT AGREES TO CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
The aim is to include continuous improvement in energy efficiency, as part of the existing or planned management systems or operating plans.

Make your decision to join now!
Energy Efficiency Agreements play a key role in achieving the energy efficiency goal set for Finland in the Energy Efficiency Directive
Good coverage and results of the agreements will continue to be preconditions for the voluntary responsibility
In order to achieve the targets set for savings, it is important that the agreements will continue without a break at the beginning of 2017 and that savings start to accumulate already during the first agreement year
