6) – Energy Policy

1) Efficacité énergétique de l'UE• 1992 : Labelling Directive (for domestic household appliances) (grades from A to G)

• 2002 : EPBD Directive (Energy Performance of Buildings) => standards• 2005 : Ecodesign Directive (environmental

performance)• 2006 : Directive Energy Services => National Action Plans• 2006 : Action Plan on Energy Efficiency (85 measures)

=> Objective of 20% energy savings

2) Renewable Energies :

• 2001 : RES Directive to promote green electricity – Indicative target of 21% in the share of EU gross electricty consumption to be reached in 2010(today : 15%)

• 2003 : Biofuels Directive (in the share of fuels sold) : –Target of 2% in 2005– 5,75% in 2010

• 2004 : Cogeneration Directive (promotion of heat and electricity)

3) RES : Energy Package(adopted in 2008)

• New objectives : – 20% RES – 10% target in transports (but not only biofuels)

• New RES Directive :– the same text concerns green electricity,

biofuels, and heating& cooling (new)

–Feed in tariff system / Guarantees of Origin–Cooperation mechanisms between MS–Sharing effort (national targets : 5,75% +

partition/PNB)–Sustainable criteria for biofuels

• Third Liberalisation Package : –Patrimony separation or unbundling–Better integration of RES in the Market

Energy Package (2008)

• SET Plan (pilot innovative projects)

• Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) => Equipping power plants (funding

demonstration projects)

• New Regulation on State Aids for Environment and Energy

• Support of Local Authorities (EE) : => Convenient of Mayors

4) Financial support for RES

• FP7

• Technological Platforms : –Wind–Photovoltaic–Hydrogen–Nuclear–Biofuels

• Intelligent Energies Europe Program (EIE)

5) Forthcoming policy

2008 Action Plan (strategy beyond 2050) : - Infrastructures and resources of supply- External Relations - Improved oil and gas stocks and crisis - Saving Energy- Indigenous Energy reserves=> Off-shore Wind Action Plan

Infrastructures Strategies

• Reform of the TEN-E Scheme

• New Initiative for Sustainable Energy : Support by EIB and RDEB Support by MS

• Projects of connexion : - North sea Grid- Connexion Balt States – rest of Europe- Gas Action Plan (Liquid Gas; Southern Europe)- Connexions Centre and South of Europe- Energy Mediterranean Ring
