What is PD CEN/CLC/TR 16567 - Efficiency obligation schemes in Europe about?
PD CEN/CLC/TR 16567 is a Technical Report that analyses and describes the concept of energy efficiency obligation schemes and white certificate schemes for energy efficiency improvement, based on experiences in the European Union. It is mainly focused on the current systems in use in Italy, France, Denmark, and Great Britain. These national systems have been in operation long enough to gain some valuable experiences about the systems. Information about these experiences is easily accessible. Some additional information about the regional system in Flanders, Belgium, Poland, Ireland, Spain, and Portugal has been included in this Technical Report when considered relevant.
PD CEN/CLC/TR 16567 also analyses the need and/or possibility to harmonize a system in Europe.
It also includes an analysis of some countries’ hesitation to introduce white certificate systems.
Who is PD CEN/CLC/TR 16567 - Efficiency obligation schemes in Europe for?
PD CEN/CLC/TR 16567 on energy efficiency obligation schemes in Europe its overview and analysis of main features and possibilities for harmonization is useful for:
- Energy regulatory authorities
- Environment protection agencies
- Private or government organizations
- Micro, small, and medium businesses
- Financial firms
Why should you use PD CEN/CLC/TR 16567 - Efficiency obligation schemes in Europe?
Under the Energy Efficiency directive, European Union countries must set up an energy efficiency obligation scheme. This scheme requires energy companies to achieve yearly energy savings.
The Directive for energy efficiency states that each country can either introduce an energy efficiency obligation scheme or use other policies and methods in order to obtain the same energy efficiency improvements. PD CEN/CLC/TR 16567 helps you to describe both the energy efficiency obligation schemes and the white certificate schemes which are in operation in some European countries taking into consideration also the other instruments used by some of them to reach energy efficiency.
PD CEN/CLC/TR 16567 describes and analyses different ways to achieve energy efficiency improvement through energy efficiency obligation schemes and white certificate schemes based on experiences in Europe. It also focuses on if there is a need and/or possibility to harmonize a system in Europe.
The PD CEN/CLC/TR 16567 guidance can help you to establish energy efficiency obligation schemes, which aid in the improvement and measurement of energy performance.
