Energy Sufficiency Indicators and Policies (Lea Gynther, Motiva)Leonardo ENERGY
This policy brief looks at questions ‘how to measure energy sufficiency’, ‘which policies and measures can be used to address energy sufficiency’ and ‘how they are used in Europe today’.
Energy sufficiency refers to a situation where everyone has access to the energy services they need, whilst the impacts of the energy system do not exceed environmental limits. The level of ambition needed to address energy sufficiency is higher than in the case of energy efficiency.
This is the 13th edition of the Odyssee-Mure on Energy Efficiency Academy, and number 519 in the Leonardo ENERGY series. The recording of the live presentation can be found on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEAdYbI0wDI&list=PLUFRNkTrB5O_V155aGXfZ4b3R0fvT7sKz

Energy and mobility poverty: Will the Social Climate Fund be enough to delive...Leonardo ENERGY
Prior to the current soaring energy prices across Europe, the European Commission proposed, as part of the FitFor55 climate and energy package, the EU Social Climate Fund to mitigate the expected social impact of extending the EU ETS to transport and heating.
The report presented in this webinar provides an update of the European Energy Poverty Index, published for the first time in 2019, which shows the combined effect of energy and mobility poverty across Member States. Beyond the regular update of the index, the report provides analysis of the existing EU policy framework related to energy and transport poverty. France is used as a case study given the “yellow vest” movement, which was triggered by the proposed carbon tax on fuels.

Energy efficiency trends in buildings in the EULeonardo ENERGY
(For an updated version of this deck, addressing pending questions with some more details and references, please visit https://www.slideshare.net/sustenergy/energy-efficiency-trends-in-buildings-in-the-eu-update)
What has been the overall trend in final energy consumption of buildings in the EU since 2010?
What are the main drivers of the energy consumption variation, and in particular energy savings, for residential and service buildings?
These are the key questions answered during this (11th) webinar in the Odyssee-Mure on Energy Efficiency Academy.
Highlights from their research:
➢The energy consumption of buildings has steadily decreased since 2010 despite GDP growth.
➢There are large disparities in building performances across countries.
➢Since 2015, the rate of household energy efficiency improvements has dropped by 50% (compared to 2000-2014).
➢Energy efficiency of large electrical appliances, which has largely improved in the past, does not counterbalance anymore the rapid growth of the consumption of small appliances.
Although the European Union had legislated in the area of energy policy for many years, the concept of introducing a mandatory and comprehensive European energy policy was for a long time not approved. With the Treaty of Lisbon this changed. The Treaty includes legal solidarity in matters of energy supply and gives the EU the right to change energy policy within the EU.
Following the adoption of the Kyoto protocol, the EU set out in implementing the greenhouse gas reductions goals. Given the flagship initiative at the time of Europe 2020, the climate and energy package that was proposed in 2007 and adopted in 2009 took the form of the 20 20 20 by 2020 goals. The package is a set of binding legislation to ensure the EU meets its climate and energy targets by the year 2020. It includes three key targets:
* 20% cut in greenhouse gas emissions (from 1990 levels)
* 20% of EU energy from renewables
* 20% improvement in energy efficiency

More than 20 years ago, the EU vowed to fight the newly identified danger of climate change. Over time, it has developed a policy which is two-fold: on one hand, it looks at ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions inside EU borders and now has 2050 as horizon; on the other hand, it tends to lead by example and to push other big emitters to gather around similar emission reduction objectives.
Pursuing the idea of giving a price to carbon, the EU has put in place an instrument that would lead it towards decarbonisation: the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS). Launched in 2005, it has today become a complex system which is being reproduced in other parts of the world. The ultimate vision is one of a global carbon market leading to a significant reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and thus mitigating the impact of climate change.

Determining primary energy factors for electricityLeonardo ENERGY
A primary energy factor (PEF) for electricity describes the ratio between end-user consumption of electricity and primary energy consumption. In recent years, the EU has implemented regulatory use of PEFs in the energy policy framework. As a result, PEFs now play a role in the regulation of production and consumption of electricity throughout Europe.
A key challenge is the lack of professional and/or political agreement on how the PEF shall be determined. Up until today, approaches used to determine PEFs have lacked foundation in objective methodologies, and the discussions have often been plagued by sectorial interest and political goals. Regulatory application of PEFs can create enormous challenges for European authorities and other energy market interests in the future. Depending on the case, the determination of a PEF may push end-users to alter their consumption of energy, decisions on energy efficiency and/or choice of energy fuels. Thus, PEFs may affect European countries’ ability to achieve long-term energy- and climate goals.
This webinar is dedicated to the findings of the 3rd issue of the PV Grid Parity Monitor for Residential Consumers.
The Photovoltaic Grid Parity Monitor analyses PV competitiveness with retail electricity prices for residential consumers and assesses local regulation for self-consumption of 21 cities in 12 countries (Australia, Brazil, Chile, France, Germany, Italy, Israel, Japan, Mexico, Spain, UK, USA).
It is based on a rigorous and transparent methodology and has used real and updated data provided by local PV installers, local PV associations and other reliable players from the PV industry. A specific and in-depth analysis of retail electricity rates for each of the 21 cities is included.
Given that PV Grid Parity represents a unique opportunity to develop a local and sustainable power generation technology in a cost-effective way, this Monitor aims at giving benchmark elements and good practice models to foster the development of this technology.

White certificates: the shift towards industry presented at ECEEE summer stud...Dario Di Santo
The Italian white certificates scheme (WhC) has been in place for nine years and a lot of experience has been gathered. More than this, it has become an effective mechanism, mostly based on measured energy savings, to promote and implement energy efficiency in industry.
The scheme is based on an energy efficiency obligation, imposed on electricity and gas distributors, and on a tradable market for certificates, thus acting as an incentive for medium and large end-users and energy service companies (the voluntary parties).
The WhC targets started from 0.2 Mtoe/year in 2005 and shall reach 7.6 Mtoe/year in 2016, covering more than 60% of the national target set by the 2006/32/EC directive. After the first phase dominated by deemed saving projects - in particular CFL lamps and other civil sector applications - "progetti a consuntivo" (a.k.a. monitoring plans) in the industrial sector have started to rise under the effect of the "tau" coefficient, the multiplier introduced in 2011 that adds to the yearly additional savings the discounted future savings for technologies with a lifespan of more than 5 years (WhCs are usually released for a lifetime of 5 years).
The result has been dramatic: in 2013 around 95% of the certificates due to new projects has been related to energy efficiency in the industrial sector. An interesting point is that all this projects are monitored and savings are effectively measured through on-site metering.
The proposed paper shows in detail this transformation and how a WhC scheme has been able to become effective for industrial energy efficiency projects. The paper is based on an extensive research carried on from FIRE on monitoring plans, showing what kind of interventions have been implemented, how they performed compared to the expected savings, and what kind of advice can be given to other countries that are considering the introduction of an energy efficiency obligation (EEO) scheme according to the 2012/27/EU directive.
Green Vehicles: State of Play and Future OutlookLeonardo ENERGY
Despite substantial progress over the past years, road transport still remains one of the most energy-consuming (30% of total EU consumption) and the highest contributor to pollutant emissions in Europe. As a complement to emission legislation, the EU has set out a strategy for encouraging the development and uptake of green vehicles which have a much lower environmental impact throughout their lifecycles.
This comprehensive strategy was laid down in a 2010 Communication entitled “European strategy on clean and energy efficient vehicles” which identified the main actions to be taken by the European Commission (EC) including regulatory initiatives, support to research & innovation or consumer information measures. Over the years, the identified actions have gradually been implemented and completed by the EC and the 2010 strategy updated.
Does the EU Emission Trading Scheme ETS Promote Energy Efficiency?Leonardo ENERGY
This policy brief analyzes the main interacting mechanisms between the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) and the EU Emission Trading Scheme (ETS). It presents a detailed top-down approach, based on the ODYSSEE energy indicators, to identify energy savings from the EU ETS.
The main task consists in isolating those factors that contribute to the change in energy consumption of industrial branches covered by the EU ETS, and the energy transformation sector (mainly the electricity sector).

TerniEnergia, società attiva nei settori dell’energia da fonti rinnovabili, dell’efficienza energetica e del waste management, quotata sul segmento Star di Borsa Italiana, e Power Capital, società di consulenza per gli investimenti, hanno sottoscritto un accordo quadro per lo sviluppo del progetto denominato “RA”, Renewable Assets, volto alla strutturazione di un fondo comune di Investimento di diritto italiano di tipo immobiliare chiuso, riservato a investitori qualificati, ad apporto di beni immobili e versamenti di denaro. L’intesa è stata presentata il 7 maggio 2013 alla business e financial community e alla stampa presso la sede di Borsa Italiana.
In particolare, il fondo sarà specializzato nella produzione di energia da fonti rinnovabili e nella green industry, candidandosi a rappresentare un nuovo strumento di investimento in un settore in forte espansione. Obiettivo dell’operazione sarà quello di accrescere il capitale investito in un orizzonte temporale di lungo termine, mediante i flussi di cassa generati in maniera costante dall’esercizio degli impianti industriali.
Stefano Neri, presidente e amministratore delegato di TerniEnergia, ha così commentato:
“Dal progetto “RA” nascerà un primo fondo di investimento immobiliare, totalmente indipendente, del quale TerniEnergia sarà al contempo partner strategico per l’attività di system integrator e di gestione industriale degli impianti di produzione energetica. La società ha, inoltre, previsto una propria partecipazione al fondo, conferendo alcuni asset rappresentati da impianti fotovoltaici e da biomasse. Questo consentirà l’accesso a capitali che potranno garantire lo sviluppo di nuovi progetti industriali e una nuova stagione di crescita. TerniEnergia vuole mantenere i propri elevati standard di qualità industriale e creare nuove attività in filiera, ad alto contenuto tecnologico. Grazie al progetto “RA” siamo confidenti di poter rafforzare il percorso di internazionalizzazione dell’attività industriale del Gruppo, in settori molto interessanti e in Paesi che presentano le caratteristiche più attrattive anche per gli investitori istituzionali, che così potranno avere l’opportunità di trarre ritorni significativi contribuendo, nel contempo, all’affermazione dell’industria green italiana nel mondo. TerniEnergia porterà, quindi, a termine una ulteriore evoluzione della sua missione industriale, da system integrator e proprietario di centrali a gestore di asset industriali e promotore di nuovi impianti in grado di imprimere una spinta consistente a un rinnovato percorso di crescita”.
Nicola Romito, presidente di Power Capital, ha affermato:
“Il progetto “RA”, nei nostri propositi, avrà una triplice funzione di servizio: al Paese, per il conseguimento degli obiettivi fissati a livello sovranazionale riguardanti l’utilizzo a fini energetici di fonti rinnovabili, l’efficienza energetica e la riduzione di emissioni di CO2; a
From Ugly Duckling to Superstar: how energy efficiency (almost) got to the to...FTI Consulting FR
Energy efficiency has long been promoted at European level. The European Commission has certainly made great efforts to support it and to ensure that energy savings can contribute to the EU’s energy priorities, namely reduction of carbon emissions, lowering of energy costs and increase of energy independence. The EU has introduced energy efficiency targets, created a regulatory framework to support energy efficiency and the uptake of energy efficient products and provided significant funding. However, so far energy efficiency has not lived up to its expectations, which is disappointing considering the huge amount of resources spent to promote it.
In this Energy Flash we look why the EU’s policies have so far have not had the desired effect, what is being done to change this and which sectors are best placed to benefit from the renewed efforts.
Can Europe deliver on energy efficiency? Investigating the effectiveness of A...Leonardo ENERGY
Article 7 is a key provision of the European Energy Efficiency Directive which established a set of binding measures to help the EU reach its 20% energy efficiency target by 2020. Each member state has to calculate its own savings target, and demonstrate how it will deliver the target between 2014 and 2020. This webinar introduces the main features of Article 7, shows how member states have implemented it, and discusses the challenge of evaluating its impact given the heterogeneity of policy responses.
The webinar will conclude with a number of options how a revised Article 7 can be simplified and streamlined, how transparency of implementation can be improved and how member states could be supported to deliver energy efficiency more effectively.

Introduction to the Energy Efficiency DirectiveLeonardo ENERGY
The Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) was adopted in 2012 and is one of the EU’s four key Directives addressing energy efficiency in stationary (i.e. non transport) end-uses (the others being the Energy Performance in Buildings Directive, The Ecodesign Directive and the Energy Labelling Directive). Given that the other Directives cover the energy performance of buildings and equipment the EED is designed to address energy savings opportunities that are not readily addressed by the other Directives. It has its origin in the preceding Energy Services Directive, which was repealed when the EED was adopted. The Energy Efficiency Directive establishes a set of binding measures intended to help the EU reach its 20% energy efficiency target by 2020. Under the Directive, all EU countries are required to use energy more efficiently at all stages of the energy chain from its production to its final consumption. EU countries were required to transpose the Directive's provisions into their national laws by 5 June 2014.

Highlights:
* Distribution transformers represent an important focus for energy efficiency initiatives.
* They are a worthwhile area for R&D, demonstration and promotional effort.
* The potential for reducing losses from distribution transformers affects strategies on energy efficiency and global warming.
* An action plan should be developed to achieve these goals.
* The strategy should be carefully co-ordinated, technically sound, and involve partners from all the supply chain.

They have long been around: co-, non-energy or multiple benefits of energy efficiency. Latest since 2014 with the IEA report Capturing the Multiple Benefits of Energy Efficiency, they also arrived at the heart of political discourse in Europe. What do we know on those multiple impacts at European level, which quantifications are there? What methods can be applied for assessing multiple impacts of future policies, in order to take better informed decisions? Do we have an idea of the size of multiple impacts?
This webinar gives first answers to these questions and introduces participants to the online tool containing all quantifications from the COMBI project (“Calculating and Operationalising the Multiple Benefits of Energy Efficiency in Europe”)
These are the supporting materials used by the different speakers of the H2020 WHY project opening session. This evento was held on September 10, 2020.

Best practices to address non-technical barriers to the renovation of EU buil...Leonardo ENERGY
The annual rate of home and commercial building renovation is well under the 3% required to achieve European climate and energy goals. There is a need to accelerate investments in energy efficiency and renewable energy solutions to boost cost-effective building renovation benefiting all Europeans.
To achieve these ambitious objectives, European projects identified the main barriers (financial, technical, legal…) to the renovation of the EU building stocks. After this stage, projects have to adapt the best practices, or imagine business models to face these issues.
The EU H2020 project STUNNING (SusTainable bUsiNess models for the deep reNovation of buIldiNGs) has the goal to promote successful and innovative building renovation packages and business models around a virtual and collaborative knowledge sharing platform: the STUNNING Renovation Hub, so as to accelerate their adoption.
Webinar - Support Schemes for Renewable Energy Development and Grid DevelopmentLeonardo ENERGY
Some fundamental questions for any country willing to introduce renewables and distributed generation are:

La presentazione affronta le novità introdotte dal Pacchetto Clima-Energia al 2030 e alcune trasformazioni attese nel mercato, in particolare la crescita dei prosumer (consumatori-produttori di energia) e la necessità di intervenire in settori più complessi (edifici e trasporti). Sono inoltre accennate alcune azioni di FIRE per facilitare questa transizione.
Finanziare l'efficienza energetica nell'industriaDario Di Santo
Gli obiettivi introdotti dal Pacchetto Energia Clima al 2030 richiedono investimenti addizionali consistenti, nonché un'azione allargata anche alle PMI e a edifici e trasporti. Tutto questo richiede una maggiore disponibilità di risorse di terzi per finanziare gli interventi, oltreché una maggiore comprensione del legame fra efficienza energetica e competitività. Nella presentazione è illustrato l'approccio di ESI Europe (contratto a prestazioni garantite, validazione di terzi, assicurazione sui risparmi energetici).

Cracking the Workplace Discipline Code Main.pptxWorkforce Group
Cultivating and maintaining discipline within teams is a critical differentiator for successful organisations.
Forward-thinking leaders and business managers understand the impact that discipline has on organisational success. A disciplined workforce operates with clarity, focus, and a shared understanding of expectations, ultimately driving better results, optimising productivity, and facilitating seamless collaboration.
Although discipline is not a one-size-fits-all approach, it can help create a work environment that encourages personal growth and accountability rather than solely relying on punitive measures.
In this deck, you will learn the significance of workplace discipline for organisational success. You’ll also learn
• Four (4) workplace discipline methods you should consider
• The best and most practical approach to implementing workplace discipline.
• Three (3) key tips to maintain a disciplined workplace.
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

EU main climate policies for industry
There are three main pillars in the EU policy that directly involve the industrial sector:
the energy efficiency directive (EED) 2012/27/EU that introduces mandatory energy
audits for industries and promotes energy management systems, smart metering and
billing, cogeneration and heat recovery, energy efficiency obligation and support
policies;
the industrial emission directive (IED) 2010/75/EU that limits the pollution emissions of
many industrial activities and requests an integrated permit and the adoption of the
best available techniques to operate.
the emission trading directive (ETS) 2003/87/EC that establishes GHG emissions limits
for industries in selected sectors and allow for the trading of emissions quota among EU
MS.

Policy tools: IED BAT
Under the IED industries are requested to
adopt solutions with performance equivalent
to the best available techniques (BAT).
Over the years reports have been developed
by the JRC IPPC group to characterise each
sector covered by the directive and illustrate
the available BAT.
These reports are known as BREF. Currently 31
BREF are listed in the JRC website*.
The EC adopt BATC (BAT conclusions) trough
decisions as references for national authorities
involved in issuing the IED permits.
Currently 10 BATC are available.

Policy tools: IED BAT
One of the BREF is dedicated to energy
efficiency and is referenced by BATC to provide
guidelines on energy efficiency BAT.
Cross media effects should be considered
within the IED, in order to ensure the best mix
of emission reduction and energy savings.
BAT can be used as reference to identify the
consumption baselines or to decide which
solutions are admissible to incentive schemes,
but it should be taken into account that their
primary concern is an environmental one.

Policy tools: EED mandatory targets
EED art. 7 set a 1.5% mandatory annual target for every Member States (MS), to be
achieved by means of energy efficiency obligations and/or alternative measures (e.g.
grants, tax benefits, etc.).
Only additional savings can be counted to this respect and it is up to the MS to decide if
the industrial sector is to be included in the policy measures.
EU-MERCI comparative report on industry relevant energy efficiency policies offers an
overview on the implemented policies across the EU.
Denmark, France, and Italy are examples of MS that have developed policies aimed also at
the industrial sector, demonstrating that it is possibile to effectively support and
accelerate the implementation of energy efficiency projects.
These policies can create synergies with the IED (BAT implementation) and the ETS (GHG
reduction).

Suggested policies for industry
The ICF study suggests the following policy measures for energy efficiency in industry:
mandatory implementation of EnMS for large energy intensive enterprises;
mandatory sub-metering requirement for significant energy consuming equipment;
Mandatory energy managers for large energy intensive companies;
Development of insurance products for guaranteeing energy savings;
Promotion of resource sharing among industrial clusters.
They recognise for enterprises the need to know their energy consumption, to have a
qualified energy manager, to develop a holistic approach to energy efficiency by re-
thinking the supply chain, to link energy efficiency with the core business through an
EnMS, and to promote dedicated financial tools.

Beyond policies
A coordinated policy is needed to answer the challenge of drastically reducing emissions,
while at the same time ensuring competitiveness at EU level.
The EU have been designing policies aimed at reducing GHG emissions, improving energy
efficiency and increasing renewable energy sources for two decades.
Nevertheless, obligations are not enough to reach the targets, especially after the
economic crisis has depleted the capability of the MSs to sweeten the sticks with carrots.
The EED directive started actively promoting good energy management practices and
tools, and to reach the future targets it is important to have good practices to rely upon
and to imitate.
Industrial consumers shall understand the possibile contribution of energy efficiency not
only as an opportunity to cut energy costs, but as a mean to gain competitive advantages
by exploiting energy efficiency multiple benefits.
15
EU-MERCI will contribute to this by offering a repository of good practices divided by industrial
sector and providing information on effective policies.
