Recital 23
(23) High-efficiency cogeneration (CHP) and district heating and cooling has significant potential for saving primary energy which is largely untapped in the Union. Member States should draw up national plans to develop high-efficiency CHP and district heating and cooling and assess the socio-economic and commercial grounds for this. These plans should cover a sufficiently long period to provide investors with information concerning national development plans and contribute to a stable and supportive investment environment. New electricity generation installations and existing installations which are substantially refurbished or whose permit or licence is updated should be equipped with high- efficient CHP units to recover waste heat stemming from the production of electricity where it is technically, socio- economically and commercially feasible. This waste heat could then be transported where it is needed through district heating networks. To this end, Member States should adopt authorisation criteria to ensure the location of installations in sites close to heat demand points. Member States should however be able to lay down conditions for exemption from these obligations where certain conditions are met.

Recital 29
(29) Member States should establish, on the basis of objective, transparent and non- discriminatory criteria, rules governing the bearing and sharing of costs of grid connections and grid reinforcements and for technical adaptations needed to integrate new producers of electricity produced from high efficiency cogeneration, taking into account guidelines and codes developed in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 714/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 on conditions for access to the network for cross-border exchanges in electricity and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1228/2003 and Regulation (EC) 715/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 on conditions for access to the natural gas transmission networks and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1775/2005. It should be ensured that costs are fairly distributed between the involved actors. Producers of electricity generated from high-efficiency cogeneration should be allowed to issue a call for tender for the connection work. Access to the grid system for electricity produced from high- efficiency cogeneration, especially for small scale and micro-cogeneration units, should be facilitated.

Article 6 – paragraph 1
Article 6 – paragraph 1
1. Each Member State shall set up an energy efficiency obligation scheme. This scheme shall ensure that either all energy distributors or all retail energy sales companies operating on the Member State's territory achieve annual energy savings equal to 1.5%set by Member state equal to 1.5% as a percentage of their energy sales, by volume, in the previous year in that Member State excluding energy used in transport. This amount of energy savings shall be achieved by the obligated parties among final customers. distributors and final customers. This annual energy savings shall lead to achievement of the target set in Article 3(2).

Proposal for a directive
Annex VIII – section 1 – subparagraph 1
Annex VIII – section 1 – subparagraph 1
Where a heat demand point of the capacity given in the column C exists or there is a potential heat demand point, the power plant mustcould be located at less than the corresponding distance in column A. A potential heat demand point is defined as one where it can be shown that one can reasonably be created, for example by constructing a district heating network. For example, using standard estimation techniques, if an aggregate heat load in excess of 15 MW / km2 can be shown to exist, this is deemed to be a heat demand point. The total sum of such connectible km square loads shall be deemed to be the demand capacity of such heat demand points.
