Amendment 90 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 1
Recital 1
(1) Moderation of energy demand is one of the five dimensions of the Energy Union Strategy adopted on 25 February 2015. Improving energy efficiency will benefit the environment, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve energy security by reducing dependence on energy imports from outside the Union, cut energy costs for households and companies, benefit public health, help alleviate energy poverty and lead to increased jobs and economy-wide economic activity. This is in line with the Union commitments made in the framework of the Energy Union and global climate agenda established by the Paris Agreement of December 2015 by the Parties of the United Nation Framework Convention on Climate Change.

(4) There are no binding targets at both national and Union level in the 2030 perspective. The need for the Union to achieve its energy efficiency targets at EU level, expressed in primary and final energy consumption, in 2020 and 2030 should be clearly set out in the form of a binding 340 % target. This clarification at Union level should not restrict (when compared to projections for 2030 based on PRIMES modelling using a 2007 baseline). Although Member States ashould retain their freedom is kept to setto set the level of their national contributiontargets based on either primary or final energy consumption, primary or final energy savings, or energy intensity. Member States, they should set their binding national indicative energy efficiency contributiontargets taking into account that the Union’s 2030 energy consumption has to be no more than 1 321129 Mtoe of primary energy and no more than 987825 Mtoe of final energy. This means that primary energy consumption should be reduced by 234 % and final energy consumption should be reduced by 317 % in the Union compared to 2005 levels. A regular evaluation of progress towards the achievement of the Union 2030 target is necessary and is provided for in the legislative proposal on Energy Union Governance.

Recital 6
(6) In view of the climate and energy framework for 2030 and the Union's long- term decarbonisation goals in line with the Paris Agreement, the energy savings obligation should be extended beyond 2020. Extending the commitment period beyond 2020 would create greater stability for investors and thus encourage long term investments and long term energy efficiency measures, such as the renovation of buildings and moving towards 'nearly zero energy buildings'.

Recital 9 a (new)
Recital 9 a (new)
(9a) It is important to include all energy chain steps into the counting of savings in order to increase the energy savings potential in transmission and distribution of electricity by introducing benchmarking mechanisms for network operators in order to encourage good network management, the reducing of losses and a cost/energy effective investment programme into the infrastructure.

Recital 12 b (new)
Recital 12 b (new)
(12b) The Union's building stock will need to become ‘nearly zero energy buildings’ by 2050, in line with the objectives of the Paris Agreement. Present building renovation rates are insufficient and those buildings occupied by low- income citizens at risk of energy poverty are the hardest to reach. Therefore, the measures laid down in Articles 7, 7a and 7b are of particular importance.

Recital 13
Recital 13
(13) Energy generated on or in buildings from renewable energy technologies reduces the supplied fossil energy. The reduction of energy consumption and the use of energy from renewable sources in the buildings sector are important measures to reduce the Union’s energy dependency and greenhouse gas emissions, especially in view of ambitious climate and energy objectives set for 2030 as well as the global commitment made in the Conference of the Parties of the United Nation Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP21) held in Paris in December 2015. Member States should therefore be able to take into account a certain amount of renewable energy generated on or in buildings or nearby for own use into account to satisfy their energy savings requirements. For this purpose Member States should be allowed to use calculation methodologies established under Directive 2010/31/EU.

Article 7b – paragraph 2
2. In designing alternative policy measures to achieve energy savings, Member States shall take into account the effect on households affected by energy poverty and ensure a significant share of such measures are implemented as a priority in vulnerable households at risk of energy poverty and in social housing, and make this information public.

Article 9a – paragraph 2 – subparagraph 1
In multi-apartment and multi-purpose buildings with a central heating or cooling source or supplied from district heating and cooling systems, individual meters shall be installed to measure the consumption of heat or cooling or hot water for each building unit, where technically feasible, cost effective and proportionate in relation to the potential of energy savings.

Article 15 – paragraph 4
(11a) Article 15 is amended as follows: (aa) the following text is added to paragraph (4): A common methodology shall be defined by the Commission, following a consultation of relevant stakeholders, in order to encourage network operators in reducing of losses and a cost/energy effective investment programme into the infrastructure and to properly account for the energy efficiency and flexibility of the grid. This methodology shall be specified in a delegated act, 12 months after entry force of this Directive.
