. . . the competent authorities ensure that installations are operated in such a way that energy is used efficiently (Article 3)

Our interpretation is to be that the National Authorities could ensure this requirement through

Implementation of already existing legal EE requirements (application in the IPPC permit)

Implementation of potential „extra“ requirements driven by prevention of pollution (and control) - implementation of low-cost techniques that are proven and lead to improvement and better control over energy demand and energy usage

IPPC energy efficiency requirement

IPPC and Energy Efficiency, Wienna 21-22 Oct/2004

IPPC Act

Air Protection Act

• AQM Action Plans (national, regional, local)

• Emission Ceilings: Plans (national, regional, LCPs)

Directive No 2003/87/EC on Emissions Trading – Czech Act

Directive on the promotion of electricity produced from renewable energy sources in the internal electricity market) - 2001/77/EC

Directive No 2003/96/EC restructuring the Community framework for the taxation of energy products and electricity (in CR applicable from 2007)

…..

Legal framework of Energy Efficiency in CR (1)

IPPC and Energy Efficiency, Wienna 21-22 Oct/2004

Act on Energy ManagementMinimum energy efficiency standards (benchmarks for energy efficiency gap analysis – can be used to set up potential for improvement) - new and reconstructed equipment, plants, networks and buildings

CHP – new and reconstructed plants and boilers over 5 MWe

Energy audits – identification of measures to improve existing energy efficiency

Energy checks of design documentation – use of RES, CHP, District Heating evaluation compulsory

Management techniques??? No

Legal framework for Energy Efficiency in CR (2)

IPPC and Energy Efficiency, Wienna 21-22 Oct/2004

Energy efficiency in permits

Thanks to Act on Energy Management– we have a good base for benchmarking (sufficient at least in current

stage of IPPC implementation in CR)– There are EE measures proposed by compulsory energy audits

Lack of energy efficiency requirements in permits

IPPC and Energy Efficiency, Wienna 21-22 Oct/2004

Are we able to benchmark and plan?

Not properly, because

– We need to develop EE assessment

– We would need to define energy management standards

– We need to improve site energy data monitoring and analyses

– We need to be trained (stakeholders)

IPPC and Energy Efficiency, Wienna 21-22 Oct/2004

• Amendment of the IPPC Act (2005)

Direct link to Energy Management Act

• application of basic requirements

• practical application of measures identified by energy audit

• To develop Energy efficiency permitting procedures– energy efficiency requirements in permits– energy data/information in applications– EE assessment procedures– Training of Regulators

• To be discussed– developing of energy efficiency improvement plan (compulsory?)– implementation of energy management system

Furthers steps in CR

IPPC and Energy Efficiency, Wienna 21-22 Oct/2004

Techniques (technologies) must not be prescribed

We do not have EE limits (contrary to envi-media limits - air, water, . . .)

Are we authorized to ask for Managerial Techniques leading to achievement of site specific energy efficiency standards (“company level“)?

Are we authorized to ask for implementation of low-cost techniques (technologies?) that are proven and lead to improvement and better control over energy demand and energy usage?

Yes, we are

Operators should have to show that they have systematically developed proposals to use energy efficiently, taking account of relevant local factors.

BREF should guide us through EE site specific assessment which results in site specific EE requirements

BREF - simple, helpful
