1 EUROPEAN COMMISSION DIRECTORATE-GENERAL JOINT RESEARCH CENTRE Institute for Environment and Sustainability Renewable energies TAIEX JRC Workshop on Scientific Technical Reference System on Renewable Energy & Use Efficiency: Energy Efficiency potential in buildings, barriers and ways to finance projects in New Member States and Candidate Countries Tallinn, Estonia, 6-8 July 2005

2 AIM OF THE WORKSHOP The overall aim of the workshop is to contribute to the implementation of the new energy savings measures and to provide more accurate information and data to National and European policy makers, in particular on the electricity use in buildings and on the energy services activities. These data will be used to promote the diffusion of efficient technologies and innovative energy saving schemes. The scope of the workshop is to foster the energy services activities and the efficient use of electricity in tertiary and residential sectors from New Member States and Candidate Countries. Another important target of the event is to help the decision makers to improve the Energy Efficiency Framework, at National levels, in order to contribute to meet the overall environmental and energy targets. The previous two editions of the workshop were focused mostly on data collection about the electricity end-use efficiency in buildings from tertiary and residential sectors in New Member States and Candidate Countries. As result new data were obtained and gathered for a detailed report. Now the level of knowledge in this area has improved and new decisions could be adopted in order to foster the energy saving activities. The workshop will present, discuss and disseminate the results of this report. This third edition will addressed mainly energy services and financing of energy efficiency projects in buildings from New Member States and Candidate Countries. The workshop will also present highlights of electricity end-use status and conclusions about electricity saving potential. All the international institutions working on innovative financial solutions are invited to the workshop to present their activities and highlight possible synergies. MOTIVATION The efficient use of energy and electricity in particular, is one of the most important and cost effective ways in order to achieve the main EU sustainability and environment & energy policy objectives: - preserve the environment by reducing the greenhouse emissions from the energy sector (Kyoto Protocol target, in-force from February 2005), - limit the import dependence of EU energy sector by reducing the waste of energy on the demand side, - ensure the sustainability of the EU energy liberalised sector and foster the penetration of energy efficient equipments and techniques in EU market. EU Enlargement process became reality last year and soon other two countries will become Member States. It is very important to know the status, trends and barriers for energy efficiency on the demand side in the New Member States and Candidate Countries and to find appropriate solutions to implement as soon as possible energy efficiency policies and to overcome the existing barriers. 2

3 The use of energy in buildings is one of the main targets for an effective energy saving policy. Together with transport, the building sector is one of the two priority sectors identified by the European Commission (EC) to reduce growth in energy demand. Buildings account for around 40% of final energy consumption in Europe and offer one of the largest single potentials for increased efficiency. It is estimated today that, due to the many market barriers and market imperfections that still exist, there is a very large economic potential that remains in the form of unrealised energy savings. For the domestic and tertiary sector this potential is estimated to be approximately 22% of current final consumption, realisable by 2010 [MURE model, EU 2003]. The increased use of energy services as well as the increased investments in energy efficiency will provide added value to the energy supply industry, allowing for greater product differentiation and increased competitiveness for energy on the basis of non-price factors (such as product quality, comfort and customers satisfaction). Promoting the competition on the energy services market now will also allow a larger number of customeroriented local retail companies to survive the ongoing trend toward market concentration. Improved energy efficiency will also allow more rapid intervention if necessary to shift or reduce peak loads on the infrastructure of grid-bound energy, such as electricity. Recent blackouts in the EU have once again highlighted the necessity of managing energy demand. We are looking forward to meet you in Tallinn.
