Expected
results
 Achieving the 20/20/20 goals will result in:
 reduction of about 60 billion € of oil and gas import to
2020
 potential to open up 600,000 new jobs,
 far cleaner energy supply in Europe
 Further integration of EU energy market could lead to an
increase of 0.6% - 0.8% of EU GDP
 More secure energy supply of Europe…

efficiency
 Transport and industry consume more than half of
the final energy in the EU, while households
consume a quarter.
 EU Energy efficiency plan 2011
 Target 20% of annual primary energy consumption compared
to projections (368 million Mtoe) by 2020
 Focus: transport, buildings, industry, energy consumption
 NEEAPs needed!
 Energy efficiency directive
 obligation for MS to establish energy saving schemes
 obligation for public bodies to purchase energy-efficient
buildings, products and services, and refurbish 3% of their
buildings each year (national level)
 Better information for consumers on their meters and bills
 Incentives for the industry to undergo energy audits
 national energy regulators take into account efficiency criteria
when approving network tariffs
