EU Level◦ Energy & Climate Package◦ Legal Framework
Energy data in Central / Eastern Europe
Governmental level◦ Policies / Legislation◦ Funds
Independent, non-profit organisation based in Brussels Focus on energy efficiency in buildings throughout Europe &
the world Supported by eceee, European Climate Foundation, Climate
Works etc. Centre of expertise in buildings European centre for a global best practice network Targeted research, policy analysis & evaluation, exploration of
policy options & implications, dissemination of information Started to operate in February 2010
Establishment of legally binding targets to:◦ Cut GHG emissions by 20% compared to 1990 levels◦ Increase share of renewable energy to 20% by 2020◦ Reduce primary energy use by 20% compared with projected
levels by improving energy efficiency
Top priorities in terms of energy efficiency potential:◦ Building sector (40% of energy requirements in EU)◦ Transport sector (26% of energy requirements in EU)◦ Manufacturing sector (25% of energy requirements in EU)
End use efficiency and energy services Directive (ESD) Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) Directive on promotion of cogeneration (CHP) Directives for labelling of appliances (e.g. air-conditioners &
refrigerators) plus Energy Star regulation for office equipment Framework Directive for eco-design requirements for energy
using products (boilers, refrigerators, freezers, ballasts for fluorescent lights)
Directive on energy products and electricity taxation

Policy making (objectives, priorities, targets) Legislation and regulatory systems (EE laws, but also e.g.
prices, DSM, obligations on energy suppliers – e.g. UK EE Commitments)
Institutions (e.g. EE Agencies) EE funds Specific measures directed to support financing EE
Efficient use of natural resources (e.g. oil, gas, hydro) for sustainable development
Develop alternatives of supply Increase EE throughout the energy cycle (production,
conversion, end-use), improve infrastructure Increase the share of RES Minimise environmental impacts
Example: EPBD (2002) Implementation summary
Based on RICS study on: 'Towards an Energy Efficient European Building stock' 2009
Total of € 1,796 m EU funds for EE measures for 2007 - 2013 in Czech Republic, Hungary, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Slovakia
ERDF regulation « In each MS, expenditure on energy efficiency and renewable energy in existing housing shall be eligible up to an amount of 4% of the total ERDF allocation»
Bulgaria €91m for energy efficient & renewable measures in public schools, universities and social units
Latvia €63m for heat insulation in multi-apartment residential buildings and 35m for co-generation power plants
Hungary €154m for energy efficient measures
EE & RE Funds as share of total Structural and Cohesion Funds for 2007 - 2013EE & RE Funds as share of total Structural and Cohesion Funds for 2007 - 2013
Direct support programmes – subject to certain requirements; mainly for residential sector; risk of free riders (objectives, priorities, targets); Ex: F, Hu, Nl, Pl, S
Soft finance - free loans and grants covering interests and guarantees; Ex: Cz, Hu, Nl, Li, Ro
District Heating and CHP grants; Ex: Hu, Dk (70% savings, 30% of resources allocated)
Other financing instruments (Technology procurement, voluntary agreements…)
Taxation (“tax-shift”, VAT, accelerated depreciation)
ESD targets (min 9% by 2016) RES targets (2005 -2020, 20%) ETS - 21% CO2 targets (20%) National responses required to EU wide
objectives
POTENTIAL◦ High potential in housing sector (40% of GHG emissions in CEE countries)
◦ High potential for energy efficient refurbishment in housing sector as most of old high-rise building stock requires renovation in CEE
e.g. in Hungary 24% of all buildings need a comprehensive refurbishment, whereas 40% need to be partially refurbished
BENEFITS◦ Reduction of the need for energy imports and dependency on Russia
◦ Competitiveness gains linked to increased local investments
◦ New employment opportunities (e.g. in the housing sector, it is estimated up to 185,000 new jobs in the CEE-10)
◦ Local knowledge and innovation
