NON-PAPER OF THE SERVICES OF THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION ON ENERGY EFFICIENCY DIRECTIVE INFORMAL ENERGY COUNCIL 19-20 APRIL 2012 INTRODUCTION This non-paper aims at supporting the discussions on the proposal for a new Energy Efficiency Directive by providing information on its estimated costs and benefits. It also compares the estimated impact of the original Commission proposal with the Council text, version of 4 April 2012. The evaluation is made by the Commission Services on the basis of available expert research. BENEFITS AND COSTS OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY The Commission’s assessment for the Energy Efficiency Plan1 showed that with the policies and measures then in place, the EU was on track to achieve only about half of its 20% energy efficiency target for 2020. To put this right, policies to deliver an additional 202 million tons of oil equivalent (Mtoe) of energy savings were needed. To close the gap, the Commission proposed a new Energy Efficiency Directive, which would contribute about 150 Mtoe, and a Transport White Paper2 with measures that would contribute about 50 Mtoe. To evaluate the impact of the Energy Efficiency Directive proposal two models were used. A macroeconomic assessment of the proposal, using the Energy–Environment–Economy Model for Europe (E3ME), estimated that the Directive will lead in 2020 to: • increased EU GDP of € 34 billion; • increased net employment of 400 000. A more fine-grained energy sector assessment using the PRIMES model3 estimates that the...
