 10 gas infrastructure
 2 oil infrastructure
http://www.energy-community.org/portal/page/portal/ENC_HOME/AREAS_OF_WORK/Investments/PECIs

16. DIRECTIVE 2006/32/EC (ESD)
Key directive for creation of overall framework for EE:
Indicative energy savings targets (min 9 % for the 9 years of implementation),
National Energy Efficiency Action Plans (NEEAPs)
Exemplary role of the public sector, EE criteria in public procurement,
Improvement of end-users’ energy efficiency
Obligation of the energy companies,
Intelligent metering systems,
Innovative EE financial instruments,
Energy auditing system,
Procedures for monitoring and verification of energy savings , etc.
Key transposition approaches: preparation of general EE law or extensive chapter in
energy law + changes in procurement law + package of secondary legislation
NEEAPs (based on the template)
Energy Community Secretariat
Sustainable Energy in SEE
Energy Community Secretariat
16

17. DIRECTIVE 2010/31/EU (EPBD)
Focused on EE improvements in building stock:
Methodology for calculating the integrated energy performance of
buildings,
Minimum EP requirements for new and existing buildings, building
units and technical building systems,
Certification of buildings,
Financial incentives,
Regular inspection of heating and air-conditioning systems,
“Nearly zero-energy buildings” - concept and plans.
Key transposition approaches: amendments of the law for
buildings + certain provisions in EE law + package of secondary
legislation and standards

18. DIRECTIVE 2010/30/EU (ELD)
Labels help consumers choosing energy efficient product.
Framework Directive establishes the legal framework for
labelling and consumer information regarding energy
consumption for energy-related products:
Obligations for dealers and suppliers,
Public procurement ,
Conditions for distance selling, etc.
The delegated regulations deal with the labelling of specific
energy-related products:
Tumble driers, air conditioners, dishwashers, refrigerators, washing
machines, TVs…
Key transposition approaches: Basic provisions
in EE Law (framework directive) + Technical Regulations for Energy
Labelling + standards

24. CONTRACTING PARTIES - COMMON
CHARACTERISTICS AND BARRIERS
• High potential for EE and RES, especially hydro, biomass, wind, solar
• Many existing barriers to are still slowing down the implementation of EE and RES policies. New
legislation, but real implementation is still a challenge.
• The vast investment needs for major retrofit, and new power plants
• CPs are facing more barriers to financing energy efficiency than EU Member States (economic
structure, public budget constraints, lower income etc). Severe effect of economic and financial
crisis - substantially reducing economic growth rates, decreasing investment and increasing
poverty rates, increase of public debt and the general financial insolvency of the public sector
• Low electricity prices, well below cost recovery level, especially for residential consumers
• Lack of information, skills and practical knowledge of both the providers and the end users of
services (too good to be true symptom!!!)
• Need for a strengthened regional cooperation
