Addressing the Energy Efficiency First principle in the national energy and climate strategy of Cyprus
When designing energy and climate policies, EU Member States have to apply the Energy Efficiency First Principle: priority should be given to measures reducing energy consumption before other decarbonization interventions are adopted. This webinar summarizes elements of the energy and climate policy of Cyprus illustrating how national authorities have addressed this principle so far, and outline challenges towards its much more rigorous implementation that is required in the coming years.

Auctions for energy efficiency and the experience of renewables
Auctions are an emerging market-based policy instrument to promote energy efficiency that has started to gain traction in the EU and worldwide. This presentation provides an overview and comparison of several energy efficiency auctions and derives conclusions on the effects of design elements based on auction theory and on experiences of renewable energy auctions. We include examples from energy efficiency auctions in Brazil, Canada, Germany, Portugal, Switzerland, Taiwan, UK, and US.

Energy Efficiency First – Retrofitting the building stock
Retrofitting the building stock is a challenging undertaking in many respects - including costs. Can it nevertheless qualify as a measure under the Energy Efficiency First principle? Which methods can be applied for the assessment and what are the results in terms of the cost-effectiveness of retrofitting the entire residential building stock? How do the results differ for minimization of energy use, CO2 emissions and costs? And which policy conclusions can be drawn?

Impacts of Energy Efficiency Funds in Europe
The Energy Efficiency First Principle is a key pillar of the European Green Deal. A prerequisite for its widespread application is to secure financing for energy efficiency investments.
This presentation discusses the contribution of Energy Efficiency Funds to the financing of energy efficiency in Europe. The analysis is based on the MURE database on energy efficiency policies. As an example, the German Energy Efficiency Fund is described in more detail.

Recent energy efficiency trends in the EU
This webinar analysed energy efficiency trends in the EU for the period 2014-2019 and the impact of COVID-19 in 2020 (based on estimates from Enerdata).
The speakers presented the overall trend in total energy supply and in final energy consumption, as well as details by sector, alongside macro-economic data. They explained the main drivers of the variation in energy consumption since 2014 and determined the impact of energy savings.

Identification of energy savings from the EU ETS through top-down indicators from ODYSSEE-MURE
The webinar analysed the main interacting mechanisms between the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) and the EU Emission Trading Scheme (EU ETS) and presented a detailed top-down approach, based on the ODYSSEE energy indicators, to identify energy savings from the EU ETS.
As a result, the work identifies the contribution to greenhouse gas emission reductions resulting from energy efficiency improvements, triggered by EU ETS, in both ETS industry and the energy sector.

Energy efficiency, structural change and energy savings in the manufacturing sector, with special focus on Denmark
The webinar presented the energy efficiency improvements in the manufacturing sector since 2000, and the role of structural change between the different branches and energy savings, based on ODYSSEE data.
It then focused on the development in Denmark and compared the energy efficiency improvement, corrected for structural change, with the reported savings from the Energy Efficiency Obligation Scheme.

Energy Sufficiency Indicators and Policies
The webinar looked at how energy sufficiency is measured, which policies and measures can be used to address energy sufficiency and how they are used in Europe today.
Energy sufficiency refers to a situation where everyone has access to the energy services they need, whilst the impacts of the energy system do not exceed environmental limits.
The level of ambition needed to address energy sufficiency is higher than in the case of energy efficiency.
