Ljubljana 31/3/2011 3 Is energy efficiency sufficient to deliver savings?

 The answer is easy and simple: NO.

 Energy efficiency (and labelling) alone cannot deliver the expected savings in acceptable timeframe.  A large share of installed stock in use is very old and energy inefficient  Consumer expectations for more welfare

Ljubljana 31/3/2011 5 A huge gap needs to be filled up

 Energy Label pulls technology to place on the market A+++ refrigerators and competition pushes to go beyond.

 At the same time the market is moving at a slower pace.

 For each average A+ fridge sold instead of an A+++ there is an energy waste of 1.4 MWh over ten years.

 The gap between technology potential and market represents an energy waste up to 20 TWh in 10 years.

ThisProper is likepolicies mortgaging need to be developed to support the uptake of state-ofour-the future-art technology.

Ljubljana 31/3/2011 6 Looking forward to 2020

 At current pace 20% energy saving target by 2020 will not be achieved (ref. Council and Commission documents).

 CECED opinion:  Enhance focus on eco-design implementing measures – Too slow process; risk of vanifying all efforts done so far; – Overlapping of ecodesign framework revision with resource sustainability intiatives.  Develop ambitious polices to finance energy efficiency investments for households and business – Utilities obligations – Revision of energy market rules  Revision of Energy Service Directive, with mandatory energy saving targets for Member States.
