1. STRUCTURE OF THE PACKAGE
2. ENERGY UNION GOVERNANCE
3. RENEWABLES
4. ENERGY EFFICIENCY
5. NEW ELECITRICITY MARKET DESIGN

3. Energy Efficiency FIRST PRINCIPLE
Why?
The cheapest energy is the one that we do not consume
Energy efficiency should be considered as a source of energy in itself:
It is endless
It is available everywhere

4. … while promoting growth, jobs and investment
Energy Efficiency is the most cost-effective way of achieving Energy Union objectives…
Security of supply
Global leadership in renewables
Decarbonization (Paris Agreement)
… while promoting growth, jobs and investment

5. WhAT pieces of legislation?
Amending Directive 2012/27/EU on Energy Efficiency
Amending Directive 2010/31/EU on Energy Performance of Buildings
Ecodesign Working Plan

6. ENERGY EFFICIENCY DIRECTIVE (EED)
OBJECTIVES
Adapting to Energy and Climate 2030 Framework
Streamlining, simplifying and increasing coherence with other elements of the package, namely:
New governance regulation
New electricity market design
Update of legislation on renewables

7. ENERGY EFFICIENCY DIRECTIVE (EED) OTHER INSTITUTIONS' POSITIONS
WHERE WE ARE TODAY
OTHER INSTITUTIONS' POSITIONS
WHAT WE SUGGEST
2020 Framework: 20% non-binding national target
… at national level
EUCO Conclusions 2014: at least 27% target for 2030 to be reviewed by 2020 having in mind a 30% target
EP 2015 Resolution: binding 40% target
… at EU level
30% binding target

8. THE 30% ENERGY EFFICIENCY TARGET (Articles 1 and 3)
What are the positive impacts compared to a 27% target?
Security of supply: avoided oil & gas imports = €70 billion
Creation of 400,000 more jobs
Lower electricity price for households and energy intensive industries
Increase in GDP of around 0.4% (€70 billion)
Decarbonisation is cheaper in the long run ( ): €9 billion/year less
Reduction in pollution control costs & health damage costs by €4.5 – 8.3 billion
SUSTAINABLE GROWTH

9. ENERGY SAVINGs (Article 7 EED)
Extending existing energy saving obligations beyond 2020 (1.5%/year)
Improving coherence with the EPBD
Strengthening the social dimension
Attracting private investment for energy efficiency renovations
Lower energy bills for consumers and reduced energy demand
Requiring MS to consider energy poverty in designing energy efficiency obligations schemes or alternative measures
Increasing buildings renovation rate
Simplifying and streamlining

10. METERING AND BILLING PROVISIONS (Articles 9-11 EED)
Contribute to deliver a New Deal for Energy Consumers:
Clarification of the EED provisions on metering and billing for thermal energy (district heating/cooling, central supply of heat/cooling/hot water).
Ensuring access to clearer consumption information and more frequent feedback for consumers in multiple-apartment buildings.
New meters to be remotely readable by 2020, and existing meters to be adapted to be remotely readable by 2027 where this is cost effective.
Contribute to deliver a New Deal for Energy Consumers:
"…providing consumers with frequent access, including in near real-time, to partially standardised, meaningful, accurate and understandable information on consumption and related costs as well as the types of energy sources"
Clarification that the EED provisions will focus only on metering and billing will be centrally provided thermal energy (district heating/cooling, central supply of heat/cooling/hot water). Metering and billing for gas and electricity will be covered in the forthcoming Market Design Initiative.
Clarification that that consumers includes households in multi-apartment buildings equipped with "sub-metering" – they should have access to clearer consumption information and more frequent feedback.
New meters to be remotely readable by 2020, and existing meters to be adapted to be remotely readable by 2027 where this is cost effective. This will allow more frequent information to be provided to consumers and is a cheaper and less intrusive way of reading meters

11. ENERGY PERFORMANCE OF BUILDINGS DIRECTIVE (EPBD)
SMARTER AND MORE SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGS FASTER
Smart
To encourage the use of ICT and smart technologies ensuring buildings operate efficiently:
By introducing building automation and control systems as alternative to physical inspections;
By encouraging the roll out of the required infrastructure for e-mobility (with focus on large commercial buildings and excluding public buildings and SMEs);
By introducing a smartness indicator to assess the technological readiness of the building to interact with the occupants, the grid, while managing itself efficiently
Simple
By streamlining outdated or cumbersome provisions that have not delivered the expected output

12. SMART FINANCE FOR SMART BUILDINGS (EPBD)
LINKING REGULATORY MEASURES WITH FINANCIAL SUPPORT
Creating national energy efficiency platforms in Member States
Providing reinforced technical support by the EU
Assistance and aggregation
De-risking
Building on EFSI II blending with ESIF funds
Increasing transparency
Understanding the risks and benefits for financiers and investors
More effective use of public funds
