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.
