WEC service on energy efficiency

• Study conducted every 3 years by ADEME in
  collaboration with WEC national committees and
  regional organizations (OLADE, APERC) aiming at
  evaluation of
• Energy efficiency trends at world and regional
  level through indicators
• Energy efficiency policies and measures
  implemented in developed and developing countries

2 examples of best practices in energy efficiency
policies and measures

• 1. Labeling of households appliances
• 2. Energy efficiency obligations on energy
  suppliers

6
1. Labeling of electrical appliances

• Labels inform consumers on the efficiency of the
  appliances sold
• Manufacturers are induced to upgrade equipment
  delivered on the market and to promote
  innovations
• Market transformation toward more efficient
  equipment allowing to introduce minimum
  efficiency standards

2. Energy efficiency obligations and white
certificates

• Several EU countries imposed energy efficiency
  obligations to energy suppliers or distributors.
  These commitments are fulfill through energy
  efficiency actions implemented at the consumer
  level.
• Energy suppliers/distributors deliver energy
  efficiency services beside energy
• Each energy efficiency action is certified by
  governments. These white certificates may be
  tradable in some schemes and other actors than
  obligated may have access to the market

Energy efficiency commitments and certificates in
EU countries
Other obligation schemes or in discussion in

Economy of UK energy efficiency commitments
(2002-2005)

• 690 M of energy efficiency expenditures
• 37.7 TWh of electricity and 53 TWh of fossil fuel
  saved
• 3.7 Billion net gain for consumer
• Cost of kWh saved vs price of energy
• Electricity 1.3 p/kWh (price 6.7 p/kWh)
• Gas 0.5 p/kWh (price 1.7 p/kWh)
• 50 of savings are targeted toward poor households

Conclusions and recommendations

• Energy efficiency is part of the response to
  energy security and global warming.
• In non-OECD countries, energy efficiency is also
  a way to alleviate the macro economic tensions
  and investment constraints on the supply side.
• Governments and companies should share their
  experience on energy efficiency best practices
  for a more sustainable development
• The World Energy Council is a unique forum for
  such a task.
