• What are Article 7 measures?

  According to Article 7 of the EED (Energy Efficiency Directive 2012/27/EU) EU Member states must set up an energy efficiency obligation scheme. This scheme requires energy companies to achieve yearly energy savings of 1.5% of annual sales to final consumers in the time period from January 1st 2014 to December 31st 2020. Alternatively the obligated countries may implement energy efficiency policies that save an equivalent amount of final energy in this time period. These can be extensions of measures, which already were part of a NEEAP.
