Snapshot of Energy Efficiency Obligation Schemes in Europe (as of end 2019)
This snapshot, developed in the project ENSMOV, funded by the Horizon 2020 programme, presents an overview of the Energy Efficiency Obligation Schemes (EEOS) in Europe. All these schemes are reported to the Article 7 of the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED), for the obligation period 2014-2020. EEOS are schemes setting an obligation on energy companies (energy […]

[Report] Risks of Energy Efficiency Financing and Mitigation Strategies Typology
Energy efficiency is one of the key elements of the EU energy policy. This is reflected in the EU’s existing legislation and the targets to be reached by 2030 and 2050. Specifically, the EU has set the clear commitment to become the first carbon-neutral continent and remain the leader in the clean energy transition at […]

[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] Efficiency First is not just another name for energy efficiency: Enefirst defines and contextualizes the principle
Efficiency First (E1st) is now an established principle of EU energy policy. It has been embedded in various legislative pieces of the Clean Energy for All package in 2018-2019. This report reviews the background of this concept and existing definitions in order to draw a definition that can serve as a basis for the Enefirst […]

[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 […]

[Report] Article 7, Energy Efficiency Directive – Knowledge exchange and guidance needed to accelerate implementation
The implementation of Article 7 from the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) by EU Member States (MS) has shown so far that public authorities have limited time and resources to coordinate experience sharing at the EU level. Article 7 requires MS to set up an energy efficiency obligation scheme, with energy companies achieving yearly energy savings […]
