  2. EPEC: Who we are and what we do EPEC and Energy Efficiency

  3. The European PPP Expertise Centre • Established in September 2008; • A unique cooperative initiative of the EIB, the European Commission and EU Candidate and Member States; • International team of 18 professionals; • Membership: Initially 20, EPEC now numbers 35 Members; • Excellent engagement from Members with more than 120 participations annually in EPEC working groups EPEC and Energy Efficiency

  4. EPEC Mission To help the public sector deliver more, and better, PPP deals EPEC’s activities: EPEC works by: • Collaborative Working – Information sharing through member working groups; • Institutional Strengthening – Policy and programme support through bilateral working with member organisations; • Helpdesk– Service offered to members providing rapid responses to enquiries • Sharing information, experience and expertise; • Strengthening the organizational capacity of public authorities to develop PPP programmes; • Promoting good practice across the public sector EPEC and Energy Efficiency

  5. Why EPEC? Clear public sector need for private sector knowledge and expertise Why now? Energy Efficiency is key part of EU 2020 strategy; The Energy Efficiency Directive recently approved imposes energy saving obligations on Member States; The Cohesion Policy proposals for 2014 -2020 allocate a significant amount of funding to Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy; ELENA, JESSICA, EEEF to support investment in Energy Efficiency/Renewable Energy EPEC and Energy Efficiency EPEC and Energy Efficiency

  6. Energy Efficiency (EE) Mandate • EU Legislation and financing framework related to Energy Efficiency (EE) and Renewable Energy (RE) in buildings; • Structural and Cohesion Funds available for investment in EE and RE; • Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) Raising awareness within national authorities on: EPEC and Energy Efficiency

  7. Energy Efficiency (EE) Mandate EPEC and Energy Efficiency

  8. Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) Campaign • Launched by DG ENER in October 2012; • Awareness of EPC at national, regional and local levels; • Series of practical workshops to increase knowledge, build confidence and share experience; • Three pillars working to complement each other: EPEC, ManagEnergy and Covenant of Mayors EPEC and Energy Efficiency

  9. EPC Campaign Structure EPEC and Energy Efficiency

  10. Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) EPEC and Energy Efficiency

  11. Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) and Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) Energy services include energy analysis and audits, energy management, project design and implementation, maintenance and operation, monitoring and evaluation of savings, property management, and energy and equipment supply • Private sector expertise to design, implement EE investments and optimised operation • Building owner get access to outside capital for projects by transferring the risk to the ESCO • Guaranteed/ Shared savings based on actual EE performance, reduced operating costs • Immediate benefits: upgrade with modern, reliable EE equipment; comfort conditions; reduced carbon emissions • ESCOs can provide turnkey solutions and comprehensive measures (deep retrofits) • Potential for off balance sheet financing on commercial basis (factoring/forfeiting) EPEC and Energy Efficiency

  12. The EPC Opportunity Source: International performance, measurement and verification protocol, EVO, 2010 EPEC and Energy Efficiency

  13. Comparative perspective - European ESCO market (2010) Estimated EU market size at €6.7-8.5bn / potential up to €25bn Data source: Energy Services Companies Market in Europe. Status Report 2010– DG Joint Research Centre http://publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu/repository/bitstream/111111111/15108/1/jrc59863%20real%20final%20esco%20report%202010.pdf EPEC and Energy Efficiency

  14. Current EU Issues EPEC and Energy Efficiency

  15. Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) A new regulatory framework that provides an opportunity to develop the EPC market: • Article 3 – Required renovation of 3% of central government buildings • Article 7 – Energy efficiency obligations 1.5% target for energy companies to be met • Article 8 – Obligation for large companies to carry out mandatory energy audits • Article 19 – Removal of barriers to energy efficiency in accounting rules • Article 20 – Maximising the benefits of multiple financing schemes EPEC and Energy Efficiency

  16. Timetable for implementation • April 2013: Member states present their national programmes for the implementation of the Energy Efficiency Directive; • 2014, 2016: European Commission reviews the Directive EPEC and Energy Efficiency

  17. CohesionPolicy Proposals2014 -2020 • Cohesion Policy provides the major EU level investment framework for EE/RES, accompanying the EU regulatory framework; • The ERDF, CF and EAFRD can contribute to accelerating the implementation of EU legislation on renewable energy and energy efficiency, in particular the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, the Energy Services Directive, the Renewable Energy Directive and the Strategic Energy Technology Plan EPEC and Energy Efficiency

  18. Cohesion Policy 2014 - 2020 • Adoption of Commission proposal in October 2011 • Negotiations ongoing in the Council • Mission: • Reduce disparities between Europe's regions strengthening economic, social and territorial cohesion; • Contribute to the Europe 2020 Strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth; • Need to increase the performance and impact of the funds: • Ex-ante conditionalities; • Thematic concentration of funds: 11 thematic objectives linked to the Europe 2020 Strategy EPEC and Energy Efficiency

  19. Promoting the production and distribution of RES; Promoting EE and RES use in SMEs; Supporting EE and RES use in public infrastructures and in the housing sector; Developing smart distribution systems at low voltage levels; Promoting low-carbon strategies for urban areas. Cohesion Policy 2014 – 2020: Investments in Sustainable Energy Supporting the shift towards a low-carbon economy in all sectors – 5 investment priorities proposed: EPEC and Energy Efficiency

  20. Key actions for Investment • Innovative renewable energy technologies, in particular technologies mentioned in the SET-Plan and in the Energy Roadmap 2050, along with 2nd and 3rd generation biofuels; • Supporting marine-based renewable energy production, including tidal and wave energy; • Investment in the wider use of Energy Performance Contracting in the public buildings and housing sectors; • Energy efficiency and renewable heating and cooling in public buildings, in particular demonstration of zero-emission and positive-energy buildings, and deep renovation of existing buildings to beyond cost-optimal levels • EE and RES in SMEs, including information campaigns; • Integratedlow-carbonstrategies and sustainableenergyaction plans for urban areas, including public lightingsystems and smart grids; EPEC and Energy Efficiency

  21. Whatwill be available? EPEC and Energy Efficiency

  22. CohesionFundsPrinciples • Mainly private sector investment. MS/regions to ensure that public funding complements private investment, leveraging it and not crowding it out; • In EE sector, consider option of creating value for energy savings through market mechanisms before public funding (ESCOS); • Financial instruments to be used where potential for private revenue or cost savings is large; • For physical investment, grants to be used primarily: • to address market failures; • to support innovative technologies; • to support investments beyond cost-optimal EE performance: ensure energy savings and GHG emission reductions above "business as usual"!
