[Report] Rewarding energy efficiency for energy system services through markets: opportunities and challenges in Europe
Energy efficiency provides a diverse set of values to the energy system, some of which can be rewarded through mechanisms such as capacity markets and network procurement programmes and others which require dedicated energy efficiency programmes. To turn this set of values into bankable energy efficiency projects a number of steps need to be taken. […]

[Report] H2020 ENSMOV identifies 15 gaps in the (re)design, implementation and monitoring, reporting and verification of energy efficiency policies in Member States under the Art. 7 of the EED
Since the introduction of the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) in 2012, energy efficiency policy frameworks have been developed across EU Members States. In order to meet Article 7 of the EED (energy savings obligation), energy efficiency programmes have been (re)designed and implemented and MRV systems put in place or further developed. Yet, in the start […]
