  1. The Intelligent Energy – Europe Programme: Call for Proposals 2012 Vassilia Argyraki Project Officer Executive Agency for Competitiveness and Innovation Renewable Energy Unit La Valetta 2nd March 2012

  2. The Executive Agency for Competitiveness and Innovation Created by the European Commission to manage the following EU programmes under Commission control and responsibility: CIP NB: As an Executive Agency, we are not involved in policy making. http://ec.europa.eu/eaci

  3. Reduce greenhousegas levels by 20% Increase share of renewables to 20% Reduce energyconsumption by 20% 100% Current trend to 2020 Current trend to 2020 -20% -10% Current trend to 2020 20% Meeting our “20-20-20 by 2020” goals • only 10% savings by 2020 on current trends • large untapped potential in transport and building sectors • the public sector should lead by example (public buildings make up 12% of the EU building stock; set efficiency standards by 2012 both for new and renovated buildings)

  4. Main Legal and Policy tools (1) Renewables • Directive for the Promotion of Renewable Energy Sources (Dir. 2009/28/CE): • Mandatory national targets • National action plans (NREAPs) • Cooperation mechanisms • NREAPs: • Over half of the Member States plan to exceed their own targets by 2020 • Two Member States plan to use “imports” in the form of statistical transfers from Member States with surpluses or third countries to reach their target • If all these production forecasts are fulfilled,the EU will reach 20,34% RES share in its final energy consumption in 2020 NREAPs are all published at the transparency platform of the European Commission: http://ec.europa.eu/energy/renewables/transparency_platform/action_plan_en.htm • Administrative procedures • Grid access for renewables • Sustainability criteria for biofuels

  5. Main Legal and Policy tools (2) Energy Efficiency • Recast of theEnergy Performance of BuildingsDirective (Dir. 2010/31/EU) • Energy End-use Efficiencyand Energy ServicesDirective (Dir. 2006/32/EC); Energy EfficiencyDirective 2012(Commission proposal) • Eco-design (Dir. 2009/125/EC) Implementing Measures; Recast of Energy Labelling Directive (Directive 2010/30/EU) • Energy Efficiency Plan(2011) Energy in Transport • Clean VehiclesDirective(Dir. 2009/33/EC) • White Paper (2011) “Roadmap to a Single European Transport Area - Towards a competitive and resource efficient transport system”

  6. Energy Roadmap 2050 An exploration of possible futures for the EU energy system; neither a forecast nor a prescription Conclusions – supported by all decarbonisation scenarios: • Energy efficiency gains throughout system are essential • Growing reliance on electricity • Renewable energy - at least 55% of gross final energy consumption in 2050, - at least 60% of electricity generation • All decarbonisation options can contribute: EE, RES, nuclear, CCS, gas http://ec.europa.eu/energy/energy2020/roadmap/index_en.htm

  7. Intelligent Energy Europein a nutshell • To reduce energy use and increase the share of renewable energies by: • Creating favourable market conditions • Shaping policy development and implementation • Preparing the ground for investments • Building capacities and skills • Informing stakeholders and fostering commitment
