Energy Efficiency Measures in Denmark
• Energy taxes in households and in the public sector
• CO2 taxes on energy used in all sectors
• Building codes
• Energy labelling of buildings.
• Energy labelling of appliances (EU and GEEA).
• Minimum efficiency standards.
• Agreements on energy efficiency in industries (CO2
package)
• The Electricity Saving Trust.
• The energy-saving activities carried out by the grid
companies (electricity, natural gas, district heating)
• Energy Saving Act
• There have been different subsidies schemes

Energy Intensity in Manufacturing
How can the change in 2003 be explained:
Change in economic activities
Low growth from 1983-93
High growth since
New policy measures
CO2 tax package
• CO2 tax on energy
• Voluntary agreement scheme
• Subsidy scheme
DSM activities by electricity utilities
DSM by Grid Companies
Electricity grid/distribution companies has
worked with energy efficiency for more than 10
years
The activities are based on a running process of
annual planning and reporting
The costs are included in the tariffs
Energy consulting/audits, campaigns,
information, etc.
The new political framework
for energy efficiency
The Process
Development of a new plan was decided in a
political agreement in March 2004
A draft Action Plan was published in December
2004
10 June 2005 a broad political agreement on
future energy conservation efforts
The final action plan was published in
September 2005
Political Framework
Increasing energy efficiency is supporting:
Economic growth and competitiveness
Security of supply
Environmental protection and CO2 reduction
Basic principles:
Decentralised implementation
PSO-financing
Cost-efficiency
Market-based approach
Focus on realisation of profitable savings
Energy Saving Potential
The potential is large
30 – 50 % in most sectors and end-uses
A large part of the potential is economic attractive
For the consumers
Socio-economic
It will not be realised by itself
Market failures and imperfections
Barriers
There is a need for policies and measures
Focus on cost-effective measures with a big saving potential
Economic Potential
from the Action Plan
Potential
Socio-economic up to 2015 24 %
Private-economic
- currently
16 %
Private-economic
– up to 2015
42 %
Still potential in all sectors and end-uses
Half of the cost-effective potential is in space-heating
Objectives and Targets
The overall goal is to reduce final energy
consumption (excluding transport)
Actual saving target at 1,7 % per year
Concrete energy savings, which can be documented,
corresponding to an average of 7,5 PJ annually
during the 2006-2013 period
Transport not included
This target secure a small decrease in final
energy consumption.

Annual saving 7,5 PJ
Network and Distribution Companies...
Shall deliver a significant part of the increased
savings
Include electricity, natural gas, district heating
and oil companies
The companies will together get an annual
saving target and a large degree of freedom to
deliver in the cheapest way
Focus on realisation of savings in the cheapest
way
Where will the savings come from?
