3 Energy Union: Strategy
«  «  I want to reform and reorganise Europe’s energy policy in a new European Energy Union. Jean Claude Juncker Energy Union Strategy

4 AN ENERGY UNION BASED ON FIVE MUTUALLY SUPPORTIVE AND INTERLINKED DIMENSIONS
Summer 2015: ETS Directive Energy Labelling Nov 2015, Feb 2017, Nov 2017: 1st, 2nd and 3rd State of the Energy Union Energy Security, Solidarity and trust A fully integrated internal energy market Energy Efficiency Decarbonisation of the economy Research, innovation and competitiveness February 2016: SoS Regulation; IGA Decision; Heating and Cooling; LNG November 2016: Clean Energy for all Europeans package (RED, EE, MDI, Governance) July 2016: Effort Sharing (GHG) LULUCF Low-emmission mobility November 2017 Infrastructure Communication and 3rd PCI list 2017 & 2018 Mobility packages

7 MONITORING OF IMPLEMENTATION OF ENERGY UNION
INTRODUCTION MONITORING OF IMPLEMENTATION OF ENERGY UNION Implementation needs close monitoring, full transparency and involvement by the European Parliament and the Council. Main objective: "Annual reporting to the European Parliament and the Council on the state of the Energy Union in order to address the key issues and steer the policy debate." 11/2015: first State of the Energy Union 02/2017: second State of the Energy Union 11/2017: third State of the Energy Union Assesses the progress and identifies road to completion of Energy Union "By 2019, the Energy Union must no longer be a policy. It must be a reality"

8 PROGRESS ALONG THE 5 DIMENSIONS OF THE ENERGY UNION
ENERGY SECURITY, SOLIDARITY AND TRUST Net import dependency [%] In 22 Member States, total net import dependency decreased The European Union still imports more than half of its energy Gas interconnections between Member States and access to Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) terminals have and will continue to improve energy security

9 PROGRESS ALONG THE 5 DIMENSIONS OF THE ENERGY UNION
ENERGY SECURITY, SOLIDARITY AND TRUST Share of Russian gas in total gas consumption in 2015 0 – 20% 20 – 40% 40 – 60% 60 – 80% >80% Source: IHS, EC

10 PROGRESS ALONG THE 5 DIMENSIONS OF THE ENERGY UNION
AN INTEGRATED INTERNAL ENERGY MARKET Electricity interconnection (10% target in and 15% target in 2030) [%] 11 Member States have not yet reached the 2020 electricity interconnection target of 10% By mid-2015 most electricity markets are coupled to one or more neighbours Wholesale prices for gas and electricity decreased, but retail prices for electricity increased mainly due to taxes and levies

11 PROGRESS ALONG THE 5 DIMENSIONS OF THE ENERGY UNION
ENERGY EFFICIENCY EU 28 – Primary energy consumption and GDP trend Economic growth is decoupled Primary energy consumption decreases 2020 target is expected to be reached 30% target

12 PROGRESS ALONG THE 5 DIMENSIONS OF THE ENERGY UNION
DECARBONISING THE ECONOMY Renewable energy share in the European Union [%] 17,0 %

13

14 PROGRESS ALONG THE 5 DIMENSIONS OF THE ENERGY UNION
RESEARCH, INNOVATION AND COMPETITIVENESS Strategic Energy Technology (SET) Plan to accelerate decarbonisation by making technologies cost-effective and better-performing Ambitious R&I targets set by national governments, industry and research actors have set European Union joined the global Mission Innovation The first Clean Energy Industrial Competitiveness Forum took place on 8 January 2018 (focus on RES) and on 22 & 23 February 2018

15 CLEAN ENERGY FOR ALL EUROPEANS – PACKAGE ADOPTED ON 30 NOVEMBER
CREATING JOBS & GROWTH, BRINGING DOWN GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS, SECURING ENERGY SUPPLY WHAT ARE OUR GOALS? Putting energy efficiency first Demonstrating global leadership in renewables Delivering a fair deal for consumers 15

16 2050 2030 WHY DO WE NEED THIS PACKAGE?
THE ENERGY SYSTEM OF TOMORROW WILL LOOK DIFFERENTLY 2030 50% of electricity to come from renewables 2050 Electricity completely carbon free Thanks to the EU - ambitious energy and climate commitments With leadership comes responsibility Unique opportunity to modernise our economy and to boost competitiveness create the growth and jobs we need

17 Clean Energy for all Europeans Package LEGISLATIVE FRAMEWORK
Energy Union Governance New Market Design

18 THE REVISED RENEWABLES DIRECTIVE – PROVISIONAL AGREEMENT
Overall target of 32% (review 2023) Increased level of ambition in transport and heating/cooling Clear and stable regulatory framework for self-consumption Aims: Contributing to the EU political priority of becoming world number 1 in renewables & Achieving the EU-level renewables target cost-effectively

19 ACHIEVING THE 32,5% ENERGY EFFICIENCY TARGET BY 2030
Performance of Buildings Adopted and published Clear vision for a decarbonised building stock by 2050 (national roadmaps on building renovation); Smart & Efficient buildings through use of Information and Communication Technologies and Smart Technologies; Smart Finance for Smart Buildings initiative Protect vulnerable groups & address energy poverty. Ecodesign Working Plan List of new product groups; Outline on how ecodesign will contribute to circular economy objectives; Specific measures on air conditioning; Guidelines on voluntary agreements. Energy Efficiency Directive provisional agreement Non-binding 32,5% energy efficiency target for 2030; In addition: Create 400,000 new jobs; Reduce gas imports by 12%; Save € 70 billion in fossil fuel imports; Empower consumers by granting access to information on their energy consumption.

20 OVERARCHING OBJECTIVES OF ENERGY UNION GOVERNANCE
A ROBUST GOVERNANCE TO MEET 4 OBJECTIVES Meet Energy Union objectives (notably the 2030 targets, including a 2050 perspective) Promote Better Regulation and reduce administrative burden Enhance investor certainty and predictability Ensure compliance with the EU's international climate commitments

21 GOVERNANCE - TIMELINE Final Plans (2021-2030) Report on 2020 targets
Final update (of 2030 Plan) Final Plans ( ) Draft Plans ( ) Draft update (of 2030 Plan) Draft Plans ( ) 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 Progress report Progress report Progress report Progress report Biannual Commission assessment and recommendations Measures to close gaps to 2030 targets Regional cooperation

22 A FAIR DEAL FOR CONSUMERS
NEW MARKET DESIGN A FAIR DEAL FOR CONSUMERS BETTER INFORMED EMPOWERED PROTECTED Access to fit-for-purpose smart meters Certified price comparison tool Clearer energy bills Entitle individuals and communities to generate electricity and to consume, store or sell it back to the market Easier switching conditions Reward demand- response Monitoring of energy poverty (governance) Information on alternatives to disconnection Secured electricity supplies Sound data management

23 CONCLUSIONS To be successful, the remaining Energy Union related legislative proposals need to be addressed with urgency Maintain overall coherence and ambition of the Energy Union Swift finalisation by MS of the draft NECPs is key: Main tool to reach the Energy Union objectives Certainty and predictability for investments Further diversification of energy sources including reduced import dependencies are needed Step up efforts to improve infrastructure (e.g. interconnectors, LNG terminals …) Implementation of the "enabling framework", especially investments in innovative urban projects as well as empowerment of consumers and tackling energy poverty; Support to coal regions in transition Engagement of all parts of society
