MATTERS FOR THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

EXTENSIONS OF WORK AND NEW WORK

The delegates are URGED to prepare their responses to these presentations carefully and primarily by contacting the possible stakeholders before the meeting. The format for these proposed New Tasks will be a
brief presentation that focuses on the:

Motivation for the proposed work (what issues does it tackle?) what is it trying to achieve? Who is the

target audience?;

Objectives;
Approach to accomplishing the proposed work;
Deliverables – (what will be delivered? What will you do with it to get it adopted?)
Dissemination plan – what will need to be done to get the results adopted? Who will do it?
Required resources

The proposed New Tasks discussion will aim at one of the following decisions:

Decide to initiate the new Task based on work done to date.
Decide to initiate the Task Definition for a new Task. Interested countries must be prepared to assign the appropriate expert(s) to participate in that process.
Decide that additional work is needed on the concept paper. Interested countries must be prepared themselves, or to assign the appropriate Experts to help further develop the concept.
Decide to pursue the subject in co-operation with other parties within the IEA or elsewhere
Rejection (or moth-balling)

APPENDIX TO THE AGENDA

Concept and Task Definition Papers.[1]

Before a new Task is starting the concept has to be defined and presented in order to attain the interest of possible participants.

Concept and Task Definition paper checklist

The draft Concept Paper should present the motivation, objectives, approach, and expectations/results of the proposed Task and explain the relationship of the proposed new work to the Executive Committee’s strategic plan and/or other IEA programmes or policy statements. Overlap with other Implementing Agreements has to be checked. The proposing (Executive Committee) member will identify a Task Organiser and is encouraged to bring that person to the meeting where the draft Task Concept Paper is to be discussed.

An experts meeting should define the work in details and terms of work plan, resources and dissemination

Background

Energy Efficiency is continually being acknowledged as an important tool to address the issue of climate change by reduction in greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions. The fourth assessment report of IPCC Working Group III on Mitigation of Climate Change identified lowering of the energy intensity of economic activity through increases in the efficiency of vehicles, buildings, appliances, and industrial processes as one of the three pillars of mitigation strategies. The report assesses global potential to reduce approximately 29% of the projected baseline emissions by 2020. This can be cost-effectively achieved in the residential and commercial sectors by improving energy efficiency in new and existing buildings (IPCC 2007).

As a result, many countries have set policy targets for reducing emissions and have identified energy efficiency as one of the measures along with coordinated efforts to secure funding arrangement for these programmes. In 2008, the European Commission set a policy target of "20 20 by 2020". The policy sets the target reduction of at least 20% in (GHG) by 2020. Energy efficiency is identified as one of the key pillar in achieving a 20% reduction in GHG emissions. This objective corresponds to achieving approximately 1.5% of real energy savings per year up to 2020. If the policy is successful, this would mean that by 2020, the EU would use approximately 13% less energy than today, saving EUR 100 billion and around 780 million tonnes of CO2 each year, which is around 20% of the current emissions.

Most recently, President Barack Obama of the USA, in his Economic Stimulus Package to boost the US economy has announced a major investment plan centred on creation of new energy infrastructure and more energy efficient buildings. He urged Congress to support a raft of measures that includes a commitment to improve the energy efficiency of 75% of federal buildings and two million homes. The proposed investment plan envisages pumping of funds for implementing energy efficiency measures, tax incentives to boost energy efficiency development, and improvement of energy performance of public housing among others. In the US, it is estimated that up to 20% of the nation’s energy demand, or about half of the expected demand growth could be met through energy efficiency measures (EPA 2006).

Motivation

To achieve these targets for energy efficiency, the countries have introduced various policies and programmes targeting different sectors such as appliances, buildings, industries, etc. These policies include wide range of instruments such as regulatory directives, voluntary agreements, incentives or subsidies, financing options, education and outreach, etc. For instance, in India, various efforts like Energy Conservation Act, Comprehensive Standards and Labelling Program for Appliances, National level Agricultural & Municipal Demand Side Management Programmes, National level Certification program for Energy Auditors and Energy Managers through Examination, Energy Conservation Awards, Energy Conservation Building Code and National Action Plan on Climate Change have been initiated by the Government. Several State Electricity Regulatory Commissions have also expressed their commitment to the cause of energy efficiency, energy conservation and demand side management and have undertaken several measures to encourage consumers to reduce their demand during certain periods through tariff proclamations such as load management charge and power factor rebate and incentives and time of day tariff. However, these are being implemented through varied channels and collective impact of these measures is not known.

Similarly, in many other countries, such programmes have evolved over a period of time to cater to needs as and when these arise. As a result, these programmes tend to have their own objectives and implementation mechanisms. While a number of these programmes have been successful in realising their objectives, in the absence of unified approach, their full potential is often not realised. Further, as these programmes respond to their own incentive mechanisms and subsequently adhere to their own monitoring and verification protocols, it is difficult to quantify total energy efficiency savings, which is crucial from the Government’s perspective. In order to overcome the existing barriers for energy efficiency programmes and realise its true potential, it is important that a coherent approach that encompasses all the efforts to implement these measures, is undertaken.

Similar problems were faced by the renewable energy sector in 1980’s when plethora of instruments were used to promote various renewable energy technologies. At times, these incentives created unintended and undesirable consequences. However, over the last two decades, several of these measures have been dropped. Today, ‘Feed-in Tariff’ and ‘Renewable Portfolio Standard’ are the two most widely used instruments for promotion of renewable energy across the world. While ‘Feed-in Tariff’ provides fixed tariff for electricity generation from a particular renewable energy technology, ‘Renewable Portfolio Standard’ (RPS) is a market based instrument, which promotes renewable energy generation from the most economical sources of generation.

Taking lead from the concept of RPS, several States in the United States of America (USA) and a few European countries have adopted Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standards (EEPS) like programmes as a part of their efforts to mobilise energy efficiency improvements. These programmes provide a market based instrument to utilities to achieve defined target for energy savings.

While these programmes have gained momentum in the recent past, wide differences exists in their design and implementation. As a result, these programmes have also met with varying degree of success. Further, there exists tremendous potential for implementation of such programmes in many participating countries. However, it is necessary to study and analyse implementations of EEPS like programmes and develop Best Practices Guide for Design, Development, Implementation and Monitoring of EEPS like programmes.

Objective

The primary objective of this task is ‘Development of Best Practices Guide for Design, Development, Implementation and Monitoring of Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standards’

Approach

The task is proposed to be divided into six sub-tasks as defined below:

Sub Task I:Analysis of various approaches to promote EE and their relative efficacy

Sub Task II: Development of best practices in design of EEPS

Sub Task III: Inter-linkage between various schemes

Sub Task IV: Best practices for monitoring and verification

Sub Task V: Review of implementation mechanism of EEPS

Sub Task VI: Communication and Outreach
