1) Title slide
European Energy Service Initiative towards the EU
2020 energy saving targets
EESI2020
Contract number IEE/12/686/SI2.644738
from April 2013 to March 2016
Berlin, 26.04.2013
2) Project Summary EESI2020
 Vision
• Broad roll-out of Energy Performance Contracting (EPC)
programmes and their integration in local and regional energy
plans in European cities and regions
 Main target groups
• Representatives from targeted cities or regions that will be
directly consulted in the concrete implementation of EPC projects
in their communities
• Potential EPC project facilitators who have the chance to
participate in training session and become multipliers for the EPC
concept in their regions
 Major outputs
• Systematic EPC developments in major cities and metropolitan
regions, such as Antwerp, Barcelona, Berlin, Dublin, Graz, Oslo,
Prague, Sofia, and Zagreb
• EPC training materials and workshops for EPC facilitators
• Promotion media and EPC movies for all regions
• 3 European Energy Service Awards to honour outstanding efforts
and achievements for the development and success of EPC
• Aggregated European policy recommendations
3) Background EESI2020
 The latest estimations suggest that the EU will achieve only half of the 20 % target
for energy efficiency in 2020
 New Energy Services Directive (2012/27/EU) considers Energy Performance
Contracting (EPC) as an important tool for the refurbishment of buildings and for
the upgrade of public infrastructures
 Many European cities have committed themselves to energy saving measures, but
predominantly non-technological barriers impede the broad application of EPC:
•
•
•
•
lack of systematic information
lack of trust
lack of relative procurement procedures
shortage of professional project facilitators
 EESI 2020 leverages best practice examples of successful EPC projects throughout
Europe and launches training programs for project facilitators, which will be
multipliers for the EPC concept in their regions and cities
4) Objectives and main steps of EESI2020
 Key objective
• Systematic implementation of EPC programmes in large cities and metropolitan
regions with at least 100,000 inhabitants
 Mains steps
• Experienced EPC project facilitators („Senior partners“) will transfer their European
best practice experience on project development to „Junior partners“ within the
consortium
• Training materials will be developed and applied in EPC facilitator trainings and
webinars for external interested parties (e.g. energy agencies, consultants,
municipalities)
• Consortium partners will identify and initially develop at least 54 EPC project
candidates, i.e. supporting and instructing members of city/regional authorities within
the established EPC implementation task forces
• Finally, EESI2020 aims at becoming the European leading source of information on
EPC facilitation by initiating a broad set of regional and international promotion and
dissemination activities
5) Expected impacts of EESI2020
