The document outlines the evolution and current state of Ukraine's legislative framework on energy audits and energy efficiency, highlighting key legislative developments from 1994 to 2015. It discusses the need for adaptation to comply with European Union standards, including mandatory energy audits for large enterprises and public institutions. The document also emphasizes creating a robust system for the accreditation of energy auditors, financial support mechanisms, and encouraging the implementation of energy efficiency measures across various sectors.

Before joining EU
Energy Community
(2011)
After signing
Agreement
between UA an EU
(2014)
Bilateral
Agreement to
implement the
energy efficiency
acquis till 2012

3. Institutional Development of Ukrainian
Authorities in EE field

the National Agency of Ukraine for Efficient Energy Resources Management
(NAER)
2011
• Reorganisation of the NAER into the State Agency of Ukraine on Energy
Efficiency and Energy Saving of Ukraine (SAEE).
• Liquidation of the State Inspection on Energy Conservation

4. Development of main Ukrainian

compliant with the acquis, still applies in Ukraine
– should be replaced by a modern law compliant with the Energy
Efficiency Directive 2012/27/EU
• Only State Standards and Executive Regulations left
• There is NO system of state accreditation for energy
service/energy audit companies and financial instruments of
support for their activity
• 1st National Action Plan on energy efficiency for the period
2020 was approved
• SAEE creates working group on development of draft Law
“On Energy Efficiency” according to requirements of EU
legislation
• Ministry of Regional Development and SAEE publish Draft of
Concept of Energy Efficiency Fund

11. Best Practises – Main Sources
• EU Member States:
– Transposed in Austria, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland,
France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Malta, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia,
Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, The Netherlands, United Kingdom
– Partly transposed in Belgium, Croatia
• International:
– EU and International Standards (ISO and EN).
– EU Energy Efficiency Directive (2012/27/EU). Guidebook for
Strong Implementation. The Coalition for Energy Savings – 2013
– Best Practices in Designing and Implementing Energy Efficiency
Obligation Schemes. Research Report Task XXII of the
International Energy Agency Demand Side Management
Programme – 2012
– Energy efficiency obligations – the EU experience. European
Council for an Energy Efficient Economy – 2012

12. Clear understanding - what requires?

13. Energy efficiency obligation (EEO)
• EEO schemes use the force of law to require obligated
parties to achieve energy savings through investments
in end-use energy efficiency. They are typically enforced
by regulation and by the threat of financial penalties.
• Typically, obligations in EEO schemes are placed on
providers of networked energy (e.g., electricity and
natural gas distributors or standalone retail suppliers).
• Obligations can also be placed on providers of other
energy forms (e.g., LPG, heating oil, transport fuels,
district heating), and even on end-users of energy.
• In some jurisdictions, energy savings to meet the
obligation are delivered by a third party “energy
efficiency utility”.

14. Energy efficiency obligation (EEO)
For obligated energy providers in competitive
energy markets, there are two possible cost
recovery paths:
• Option 1: the costs of meeting energy savings
targets are treated as a cost of doing business and
energy providers adjust their prices to recover
these costs; or
• Option 2: the costs of meeting energy savings
targets are either funded by the government
through direct budgetary appropriations, or price
surcharges are imposed on regulated “wires and
pipes” energy providers.

15. The Lifecycle of an Energy Savings
Certificate

16. Clear understanding - what requires?

17. Certification and quality assurance
• Article 16 of the EED requires MSs to ensure the availability
of certification, accreditation and/or qualification schemes
for providers of energy audits and for energy managers and,
if necessary, to establish suitable training programmes for
them.
• The criteria for determining the necessity of establishing such
schemes and training programmes are left up to MSs to
determine, based on a judgment of whether the existing
national level of technical competence, objectivity, and
reliability is considered sufficient or not.
• Fulfilling the national certification, accreditation or
qualification scheme also allows “in-house” experts or
auditors to carry out energy audits of their own installations
and buildings.

18. How to build up personnel
certification body
ISO/IEC 17024:2012 “Conformity assessment -
General requirements for bodies operating
certification of persons”
– an advanced standard which is aimed on
harmonizing of different procedures that are
used globally for confirmation of competence of
personnel in various professions
– the standard provides a benchmark for
collaboration of personnel certification programs
acting on a consistent, comparable and reliable
manner across the world which would allow
professionals to demonstrate their competence
irrespective of national borders

19. Energy experts certification

20. Examples of State Accreditation
• United Kingdom
– To become an ESOS lead assessor you need to be a member of
an approved professional body register.

21. Examples of State Accreditation
• Ireland
– Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland. Guidance Note for Registered Energy
Auditors - Minimum Qualification Requirements For Registered Energy Auditors

23. Clear understanding - what requires?

24. Mandatory Energy Audit for non-SMEs

25. Mandatory Energy Audit for non-SMEs
Transposition of EE Directive 2012/27/EU
• Recital 24: Energy audits should take into account
relevant European and International Standards, such as
EN ISO 50001 (Energy Management Systems), or EN
16247-1 (Energy Audits)
• Art. 8: Energy Audits and Energy Management Systems
– Energy audit every 4 years, or:
– Energy or environmental management system
– Energy audits carried out by qualified and/or accredited experts
– Encourage training programmes for energy auditors
• Annex VI: transparent and non-discriminatory criteria
for energy audits

26. Recommendations for Energy Audit
System
1. Energy audits that meet the financial and economic criteria and
demands set out in Article 8 and Annex VI of the EED, as well as
investment-grade audits, are promoted. The latter, also based on
life-cycle cost analysis, provide additional guidance for future
investments and maintenance, whenever this is appropriate and
proportionate.
2. Encourage State to provide clear and strong incentives for SMEs
and households to undertake audits and implement the
recommended measures.
3. Encourage State to raise the quality of audits used in building
certification in the EPBD.
4. Encourage large enterprises to be early adopters of audits.
5. Ensure that energy audits and EMS account for peripheral use of
energy.
6. Use benchmarks to determine best performance levels in
industrial processes and peripheral applications.

27. Clear understanding - what requires?

28. Financing the measures
Financing mechanisms and national
EE Funds must help to develop the
required investments

29. Decisions on Governmental Level
1. Set up dedicated Energy Efficiency Funds capable of blending
various streams of financing and dedicated to backing high
standard national energy efficiency investment programmes.
2. Use public financing institutions to drive energy efficiency
investment.
3. Design effective policy instruments to ensure take-up of funds.
4. Consider how to structure offerings to leverage the maximum
amount of private sector investment possible.
5. Develop a long-term plan for driving demand across all sectors of
the economy that offers sufficient scale of opportunity to meet
targets and confidence that the plan will match or exceed the
expected period required for private capital invested to be repaid
(traditionally 15 years or more).

30. Effective Policy Instruments

31. Conclusions – fields of potential adaptation
1. Energy efficiency obligation system for energy utilities
2. Internationally recognized Certification of Energy
Auditors/Energy Managers and Measurement &
Verification Professionals
3. State system of accreditation Energy Service / Energy
Audit providers
4. Mandatory Energy Audits for
– Large enterprises
– State and Municipal buildings and
– Companies to be privatize
5. Voluntary EE agreements for SMEs and residential
buildings
6. Financing mechanisms and National EE Fund
