How to reconcile support to energy efficiency and state aid regulation

Image
 

The European Commission Recommendation (2019/1658) on transposing the energy saving obligations under the Energy Efficiency Directive, explicitly warns on the state aid issue in relation to subsidies for building renovation. In this report you can get an overview of how state aid policies are defined as well as examples from member states that will help you getting a better understanding of state aid issues.

By end of 2019, twelve Member States had responded to energy savings obligation through alternative measures. For example, Germany has launched a competitive funding programme, Sweden and Estonia have chosen energy and carbon taxes, Czech Republic uses pilot calls for financial instruments to support the development of energy saving actions. Learn more on relevant policy measures applied in each Member State, with feedback and lessons learned from national experts and how they could apply to your country.

Defining the technical aspects of monitoring, reporting and verification systems

How are energy savings measured, recorded and communicated? And how is their compliance verified? In this webinar all main technical aspects related to MRV have been addressed, focusing on two approaches for monitoring energy savings: deemed measures and measured savings. Recording and presentations are available to help policy makers with the thorny issues of MRV.
