In this webinar presentation, Edith Bayer and Eoin Lees discuss key elements of energy efficiency obligation (EEO) schemes. These include, considerations for designing, implementing, and (over time) improving EEOs; best practices in successful EEO schemes; and strategies for overcoming common barriers to… View Summary +
Both in the European Union (EU) and globally, the use of energy efficiency obligation (EEO) schemes–policies that place an obligation on energy companies to deliver end-use energy savings targets over time–has been growing. For EU Member States implementing an EEO… View Summary +
This study reveals once again the crucial role that energy efficiency programmes must play in order to maximize the effectiveness of the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) to meet Europe’s energy, economic, and environmental goals. The ETS is an important… View Summary +
This brief paper outlines the details behind the introduction of an energy efficiency obligation on road transport fuels in France, the challenges facing its introduction, and the results from the first three years of operation. Although the French white certificate… View Summary +
In October 2012, the European Parliament and Council adopted the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) to provide a stronger legal framework for Member States, energy companies, businesses, and consumers to capture a growing fraction of the cost-effective energy efficiency potential still… View Summary +
这篇文章是睿博能源智库关于强制性节能政策(EEO)综合报告中对最佳实践的总结。世界各国政府一直努力通过设计和实施一些强制性节能政策提高终端能源利用效率,并实现其他相关的目标。这些机制要求能源供应商例如电力和燃气公司通过帮助用户实施终端节能措施来实现量化节能目标。全文报告分析了世界各地所采用的19种EEO政策机制。其中包括对中国2011年1月开始施行的电力需求侧管理办法的详细描述。全文报告用一张表格汇总并对这19种EEO政策的主要设计参数进行了对比。采纳这些最佳实践能够增强EEO政策的有效性,以最佳的成本效益提高能源效率。全文报告的英文版下载链接:… View Summary +
