  2. Italian white certificates scheme Summary: Energy efficiency decrees Eligible projects White certificates Sanctions Measurements and verification of energy savings Main results

  3. Italian economy’s energy intensity Casaccia 09.01.2007

  4. Energy efficiency decrees (1/6) • Issued in April 2001 • Innovative strategy that combines a command and control approach with a market based instrument Casaccia 09.01.2007

  5. Energy efficiency decrees (3/6) • On July 2004 was issued an amended version of the two decrees with the following main changes: • Modifications in the distribution of annual quantitative targets; • Postponement of the implementation period (from 2005 to 2009) • Introduction of flexible mechanism in the deadline for achieving the annual savings Casaccia 09.01.2007

  6. Energy efficiency decrees (2/6) • Distribution System Operators* (DSO) are required to achieve quantitative targets of energy efficiency improvements in end-uses • The way for achieving these objectives is left to the market forces (energy efficiency titles orwhite certificates) * < 100.000 customers at Dec. 2001 Casaccia 09.01.2007

  7. Energy efficiency decrees (4/6) Casaccia 09.01.2007

  8. Time persistence of energy savings Casaccia 09.01.2007

  9. Energy efficiency decrees (5/6) • The annual target (*) for each DSO at (t) year is proportional at the share of energy distributed in the year (t-2) by each distributors (*) at least 50% of savings must be achieved in the field where DSO works Casaccia 09.01.2007

  10. Energy efficiency decrees (6/6) • Energy saving targets can be achieved through projects implemented by: • DSO, directly or via controlled companies • Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) Casaccia 09.01.2007

  11. Eligible projects • All energy saving projects Casaccia 09.01.2007

  12. Eligible projects (examples) • improvements of energy efficiency in lighting; • combined heat and power systems; • district heating/cooling system; • high efficient boilers; • photovoltaic plants; • household appliances; Casaccia 09.01.2007

  13. Eligible projects (examples) • heat pumps; • air conditioning; • thermal insulation system in buildings; • solar plants for hot water; • high efficiency motors; • variable speed drive; • etc.. Casaccia 09.01.2007

  14. Energy Efficiency Titles (TEE)orWhite Certificates (WhC) • 1 WhC for 1 toe of saved primary energy Casaccia 09.01.2007

  15. White Certificates (WhC) • WhC are issued by Electricity Market Operator (GME) once it has been certified that a defined amount of energy saving will be attained by project implementation Casaccia 09.01.2007

  16. Typology of WhC • Type 1: certificates savings of electricity • Type 2: certificates savings of gas • Type 3: certificates savings of other fuels Casaccia 09.01.2007

  17. Sanctions • proportional and in any case greater than the investment needed to compensate the non-compliance • established and applied by the Authority for Electric Energy and Gas (AEEG) Casaccia 09.01.2007

  18. Phases and Actors Implementation of the project DSO and ESCO Request of verification Entitled project Assessment and certification AEEG Issue of WhC GME Exchange of WhC DSO and ESCO Transfer of WhC to AEEG DSO Economic contribution AEEG to DSO Process to recognize energy saving Casaccia 09.01.2007

  19. Measurements and Verification of energy savings (M&V) • The definition of technical rules, the implementation, monitoring and enforcement of the whole mechanism are under the responsibility of the Authority for Electric Energy and Gas (AEEG) Casaccia 09.01.2007

  20. Measurements and Verification of energy savings (M&V) • The AEEG developed three evaluation methods: • Default method (no measurement; installed units are considered according to their average energy saving) • Engineering method (some measurement of technical features) • Energy monitoring plan (direct measurement of consumption before and after the project) Casaccia 09.01.2007

  21. Measurements and Verification of energy savings (M&V) Casaccia 09.01.2007

  22. Projects evaluated by Default Method(examples of 22 developed formats) • Replacement of incandescent lamps by CFL; • Replacement of electric boilers by gas boilers for heating sanitary water; • Installation of high efficient boilers; • Thermal insulation systems in buildings; • Photovoltaic plants (<20 kW power); • Variable speed drivers • High efficiency electric motors; • Etc… Casaccia 09.01.2007

  23. Measurements and Verification of energy savings (M&V) • On January 2006, in implementation of the Ministerial Decrees, the Authority has decided to draw on the services of ENEA (Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and the Environment). Casaccia 09.01.2007

  24. Measurements and Verification of energy savings (M&V) The main activities carried out by Enea will be: • technical verification and evaluation of the projects; • monitoring to ensure that the energy saving projects under evaluation are being implemented correctly; 3) the adoption and up-dating of detailed, standardised technical worksheets for use in evaluating projects and quantifying results. Casaccia 09.01.2007
