Proposal for a directive
Recital 13

(13) It would be preferable for the 20% energy efficiency target to be achieved as a result of the cumulative implementation of specific national and European measures promoting energy efficiency in different fields. If that approach does not succeed, it would however be necessary to reinforce the policy framework by adding a system of binding targets. In a first stage, therefore, Member States should be required to set national energy efficiency targets, schemes and programmes. It should be for them to decide whether these targets should be binding or indicative in their territory. In a second stage, these targets and the individual efforts of each Member State should be evaluated by the Commission, alongside data on the progress made, to assess the likelihood of achieving the overall Union target and the extent to which the individual efforts are sufficient to meet the common goal. The Commission should therefore closely monitor the implementation of national energy efficiency programmes through its revised legislative framework and within the Europe 2020 process. If this assessment shows that the overall Union target is unlikely to be achieved, then the Commission should propose mandatory national targets for 2020, taking into account the individual starting points of Member States, their economic performance and early action taken.deleted

National Energy Saving target in 2020 (in primary energy) Maximum primary energy Minimum energy saving consumption in 2020 (Mtoe) (1) target - Reduction of primary energy consumption in 2020 (Mtoe) (S2020) Belgium 43.55 9.80 Bulgaria 18.57 3.20 Czech Republic (2) 36.50 9.12 Denmark 19.17 0.83 Germany(3) (4) 241.16 58.69 Estonia 4.89 0.71 Ireland 15.92 2.75 Greece 33.26 2.70 Spain (4) 131.71 31.12 France (3) (4) 211.50 64.88 (5) Italy (3) (4) 159.82 48.97 (5) Cyprus 2.31 0.46 Latvia 6.16 0.67 Lithuania 8.56 1.14 Luxembourg 5.40 0.20 Hungary 26.67 2.96 Malta 0.70 0.24 Netherlands (2)(4) 57.99 17.75 (5) Austria 29.20 7.16 Poland (4) 91.71 18.12 Portugal 24.01 6.00 Romania 40.07 10.00 Slovenia (2) 7.02 1.76 Slovak Republic 18.51 1.65 Finland 33.17 4.21 Sweden 43.01 12.80 (5) United Kingdom (2)(4)) 163.43 50.04 (5) EU 1474 368 where S2020 = the energy saving for that Member State in 2020 (1) All energy saving targets are based on own Member States submission in their respective National Reform Programmes (NRP) in April 2011, except for (2) which have not submitted any energy saving targets under their NRP. (2) Member State which has not submitted any energy saving targets in their NRPs. The respective targets for these four Member States are directly taken from the methodology used for determining the EU energy savings target, which is defined as 20% below the 2007 projections. (3)DE target has been corrected in order to take into account the national German Energykoncept which establishes a reduction target of 20% of primary energy compared to 2008; FR target has been corrected in order to take into account of the conversion factor of 1.63 between final and primary energy consumption; IT target has been corrected in order to take into account the imprecise projections done under PRIMES 2007. (4) The gap of 47.45 Mtoe between the estimated EU 2020 target (sum of national targets after corrections) and the EU headline target - requiring a reduction of EU primary energy consumption of at least 368 Mtoe in 2020 -, has been equally distributed amongst the Member States which will consume more than 50 Mtoe of primary energy in 2020. Seven Member States will therefore have to do an extra effort in reducing their energy consumption by 4.3% in 2020. (5) Member State which has to do a bigger effort on its primary energy consumption in 2020 than under the -20% flat rate calculated reduction based on PRIMES 2007. B. Indicative trajectory The indicative trajectory referred to in Article 3(2) shall respect the following primary energy saving path towards each Member State's 2020 target: 25%* (S2020), in 2014; 50%* (S2020), in 2016; 75%* (S2020), in 2018; where S2020 = the energy saving for that Member State in 2020 as indicated in the right column of the table in Part A.

Proposal for a directive
Annex V a (new)

ANNEX V a Minimum criteria to be included in energy audits and energy management systems The Energy audits and energy management systems referred to in Article 7, shall at least include and observe the following criteria: 1. Energy management systems, which shall also include energy audits, shall contain a clear energy policy at enterprise and site level, with action plans that include investments, budgets and operations, together with clear lines of responsibility and accountabilities for energy consumption and improved energy performance, reaching into top management levels. 2. Energy audits and energy management systems shall have clearly defined objectives designed to improve and maintain the energy performance of enterprises as well as households at economically optimal levels while respecting environmental loads and technical feasibility. Energy audits for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and households are normally less complex and required less frequently than those for larger enterprises and larger buildings [1]. However, the general quality criteria set out in this annex apply equally well to the energy audits for SMEs and households. 3. These energy audits and management systems shall be based on up-to-date measured operational data on energy consumption and load profiles (for electricity), storable for historical analysis and for tracking performance. The audits shall have scopes based on energy flows into and out of the overall system boundaries of the enterprises, sites and buildings in question. They shall thus include total site energy consumption, as well as individual process, service and system consumption, together with classes of energy (steam, fuel, electricity), as well as past, current and projected energy and operational costs. Data shall be adjusted for extraneous influences such as weather conditions, industrial throughput, etc. 4. The energy audits for larger enterprises and for larger buildings shall include both macro-audits for overall energy flows to and from the enterprises and buildings, and micro-audits for individual technical systems, processes and equipment within the system boundaries, carried out comprehensively and systematically and in an independent, transparent and objective manner at intervals of 3 and 2 years, respectively, with annual reporting in enterprises. Site visits shall be an integral part of these audits. 5. The energy audits shall also be representative in order to collect reliable and relevant data and replicable, as well as proportionate, traceable and verifiable. 6. These energy audits and energy management systems shall build, whenever possible, on life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA), instead of Simple Payback Periods (SPP), in order to take account inter alia of long-term savings, residual values of long-term investments and discount rates. 7. All energy auditors and energy management system operators (in-house and external) shall be certified and/or accredited by an official organ(s) appointed and/or recognized by the Member State or regional government. 8. In-house energy auditors and in-house energy management system operators shall be given key roles as a means of securing and maintaining in-house competence, awareness, communication and commitment within the obliged and addressed enterprises and buildings. 9. Selection and dimensioning of all new and replacement energy-using equipment, processes and other energy-saving measures shall include economic, behavioural and technical analysis, as well as proposals and plans for follow-ups and verification of the impacts of measures once they are implemented. Other possible non-energy gains, such as productivity increases and lower maintenance costs shall also be reported, as well as technical interactions and synergies between combined measures. 10. Energy audits shall be of “investment grade quality” in the sense that the economic calculations for the proposed measures must be sufficiently detailed and validated to provide potential investors (internal and external) and fiscal and financial authorities with clear information on potential savings, cash flows and net present values of the measures and packages of measures proposed, and the technical and financial risks involved. 11. Energy audits and energy management systems and their recommendations shall build on reviews of enterprise, building, site, system and process status, comparing these to applicable benchmarking and best practice schemes, as well as to continually updated lists of Best Available Technologies (BAT in IPPC brefs[2], for example ) for the sector and sub-sector in question. 12. Measures currently used or proposed to improve energy performance shall in no way compromise existing health and safety regulations such as indoor climate and fire safety during implementation, operation and occupancy, or other regulatory constraints. 13.The use of EN ISO 50001 (Energy Management Systems) may be recognized as a means of fulfilling the requirements set out in Article 7 of this Directive, provided the standard’s application in enterprises and buildings also meets the criteria set out in paragraphs 1 – 12 of this Annex[3]. [1] In Directive 2010/31/EU of 19 may 2010, on the energy performance of buildings, the frequency of energy audits for buildings is set by requirements for energy performance certificates, of which energy audits are a necessary part. [2] http://eippcb.jrc.es/reference/ [3] The use of pr EN 16247-1 (Energy Audits) may also be recognized as a means of fulfilling provisions set out in Article 7 of this Directive, provided the standard’s application in enterprises and buildings also meets the criteria set out in paragraphs 1 – 12 of this Annex, upon formal adoption of the standard.

Annex VIII a (new)

ANNEX VIII a Basic guidelines for use of cost-benefit analysis to be used under Article 10 Cost-benefit analysis shall consist of a comprehensive set of guiding principles for project evaluation within the energy sector. The guidelines shall treat important aspect of the evaluation process such as issues of setting up a baseline scenario, identification of alternative scenarios, time horizon, and the use of sensitivity analysis. The guidelines shall also supply the relevant welfare economic theory when it comes to the correct method for the valuation of both market and non-market goods and services. The guidelines shall contain a set of projected energy prices. It is recommended that these prices are used when doing cost benefit analysis related to e.g. heat planning. They shall include projected annual prices for different kinds of energy input, output, taxes and the welfare economic price of air pollutants at least until year 2020 and 2030. They are updated each year based on data from different data sources (among which are the International Energy Agency), model simulation while taking into account changes in government policies. The guidelines shall also ensure that any solution chosen actually contributes to real reductions in primary energy savings terms and shall also be based on socio- economic criteria. Cost-benefit analysis in heat planning shall cover a suitable well-defined geographical area, example given a region, in order to avoid selecting sub- optimized solutions project by project, which may not be optimal, compared to analysis and select heat options in a broader geographical context.
