(24) The need for the Union to improve its energy efficiency should be expressed in primary and final energy consumption, to be achieved in 2030, indicating additional level of efforts required when compared to the measures in place or planned measures in the national energy and climate plans. The 2020 Reference Scenario projects 864 Mtoe of final energy consumption and 1124 Mtoe of primary energy consumption to be reached in 2030 (excluding ambient heat and including international aviation). An additional reduction of 9% results in 787 Mtoe and 1023 Mtoe in 2030 respectively. Compared to 2005 levels, it means that final energy consumption in the Union should be reduced by some 23% and primary energy consumption should be reduced by some 32%. There are no binding targets at Member State level in the 2020 and 2030 perspective, and Member States should establish their contributions to the achievement of the Union’s energy efficiency target taking into account the formula provided in this Directive. In doing so, they may take into account the formula provided in this Directive. If Member States do not take into account the formula provided in this Directive, they should explain how, and on the basis of which data, their contributions have been calculated. Member States should be free to set their national objectives based either on primary or final energy consumption or primary or final energy savings, or on energy intensity. This Directive amends the way how Member States should express their national contributions to the Union´s target. Member States’ contributions to the Union’s target should be expressed in final and primary energy consumption to ensure consistency and monitoring of progress. A regular evaluation of progress towards the achievement of the Union's 2030 targets is necessary and is provided for in Regulation (EU) 2018/1999.

(48) For the period 2021 to 31 December 2023It would, however, be disproportionate to impose such a requirement on Cyprus and on Malta. The energy market of these small island Member States exhibits specific characteristics which substantially limit the range of measures available to meet the energy savings obligation. Those specific characteristics are compounded by the small size of the energy markets of these Member States. Therefore, Cyprus and Malta should be required to achieve cumulative end-use energy savings equivalent to new savings of 0,24 % of final energy consumption only for the period 2021 to 2030. That individual savings rate should cease to apply from 1 January 2024.

(63) To tap the energy savings potential in certain market segments where energy audits are generally not offered commercially (such as small and medium- sized enterprises (SMEs)), Member States should develop programmes to encourage SMEs to undergo energy audits. Energy audits should be mandatory and regular for large enterprises, as energy savings can be significant. Energy audits should take into account relevant European or International Standards, such as EN ISO 50001 (Energy Management Systems), or EN 16247-1 (Energy Audits), or, if including an energy audit, EN ISO 14000 (Environmental Management Systems) and thus be also in line with the provisions of Annex VI to this Directive as such provisions do not go beyond the requirements of these relevant standards. A specific European standard on energy audits is currently under development. Energy audits may be carried out on a stand-alone basis or be part of a broader environmental management system or an energy performance contract. In all such cases those systems should comply with the minimum requirements of Annex VI. In addition, specific mechanisms and schemes established to monitor emissions and fuel consumption by certain transport operators, for example under EU law the EU ETS, may be considered compatible with energy audits, including in energy management systems, if they comply with the minimum requirements set out in Annex VI. In order to support the uptake of energy audits for SMEs, Member States may set up targeted financing instruments.

Article 4 – paragraph 2 – introductory part
Article 4 – paragraph 2 – introductory part
2. Each Member State shall set national energy efficiency contributions for final and primary energy consumption to meet, collectively, the binding Union target set in paragraph 1 . Member States shall notify those contributions together with an indicative trajectory for those contributions to the Commission as part of the updates of their integrated national energy and climate plans in accordance with Article 14 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1999, and as part of their integrated national energy and climate plans as referred to in, and in accordance with, the procedure set out in Article 3 and Articles 7 to 12 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 . When doing so, Member States shallmay use the formula defined in Annex I of this Directive and. If Member States do not use this formula, they shall explain how, and on the basis of which data, their contributions have been calculated.

Article 8 – paragraph 1 – point b
(b) new savings each year from 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2023 of 0,8 % of annual final energy consumption, averaged over the most recent three-year period prior to 1 January 2019. By way of derogation from that requirement, Cyprus and Malta shall achieve new savings each year from 1 January 2021 to 31 December 20230 equivalent to 0,24 % of annual final energy consumption, averaged over the most recent three-year period prior to 1 January 2019;

Annex I – point 6
6. Fpotential shall be calculated for each Member State based on the final or primary energy savings under the PRIMES MIX 55% scenario for 2030. The savings are expressed in relation to 2020 Reference Scenario projections for 2030 or the NECP WPM (With Policy Measures) Scenario, if applicable.
