Energy Policy at EU level
Three 20% targets for 2020
December 2008: Council and Parliament adopted the Climate and Energy Package that reinforces Europe’s commitment to:
● A reduction in EU greenhouse gas emissions of at least 20% below 1990 levels
● 20% of EU energy consumption to come from renewable resources
● A 20% reduction in primary energy use compared with projected levels, to be achieved by improving energy efficiency.
Policy - ICT contribution
●● ICT can bring about direct efficiency gainsICT can bring about direct efficiency gains
measuring, monitoring, intelligent management and control, etc
● ● ICT can help drive behavioural changeICT can help drive behavioural change
provide reliable data to governments, industries, citizens about energy consumption / carbon emissions
identify how much energy is used and where
enable comparative analyses: identification of common inefficiencies, best practices and opportunities
Energy Reductions
enabled by ICT
Energy Consumption
of ICT solutions~8% of total electricity consumption
~15% by 2020

The ICT sector takes on the
challenge!
So far:●● High Level ICT for Energy Efficiency event in Brussels took place
on Febuary 23-24th
●● http://ec.europa.eu/ict4ee/
●● 4 industry associations announced officially at the event the launch of the ICT4EE Forum, http://www.ict4ee.eu:
●● Digital Europe● ● Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI), ●● Japanese Business Council in Europe (JBCE)●● TechAmerica Europe● ● Presentation of a 3 years roadmap to address EC Recommendation
Major EU Cities take on the Challenge:The Green Digital Charter
● An initiative of Manchester City, Eurocities and the European Commission launched in November 2009
● The signatory Mayors commit to > Deploy 5 large scale projects before 2015 > Decrease ICT direct carbon footprint by 30% by 2020 > Create partnerships on ICT and energy consuming sectors
by 2011
● Signatories: Amsterdam, Birmingham, Bologna, Bristol, Genoa, Ghent,The Hague, Helsinki, Lisbon, Malaga, Manchester, Murcia, Nantes, Nice, Porto, Reykjavik, Rijeka, Tallinn, Stockholm, Vienna and Zaragoza.
Policy Context The Green Digital Charter (2)
●● Aims at: > Reducing own ICT footprint (notably data centers)> Increase the use of renewables> Improve measurability, transparency and visibility of emissions and energy
use> Improve transport and urban mobility> Deploy smartgrids with particular attention to microgrids and virtual
powerplants http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/events/ict4ee/2010/charter/

THE COMPETITIVENESS & INNOVATION FRAMEWORK
PROGRAMME 2007-2013
Information Communication Technologies Policy support Programme (ICT PSP)
• Better access to finance for SMEs through venture capital investment & loan guarantee instruments • Europe Enterprise Network• Support for eco-innovation
• Fostering energy efficiency & the rational use of energy sources • Promoting new & renewable energy sources & energy diversification • Promoting EE & new energy sources in transport
~2,170 M€
~730 M€
~730 M€
ICT Policy Support Programme under DG Information Society
and Media
ICT PSP aims specifically at:
Stimulating the wider deployment and best use of innovative ICT-based solutionsFacilitating the coordination and implementation of actions for developing the information society across the Member States
Focus is on areas of public interest:
Where ICT-based solutions can bring substantial improvements to quality and efficiency of services
To open up and facilitate the development of EU-wide markets for innovative ICT
ICT for a low carbon economy
ICT for energy and water efficiency (Pilots B)
● To demonstrate that advanced ICT components and systems* significantly contribute to reducing both waste of energy and water and management of locally generated renewable energy sources, etc.
*e.g. smart metering, smart lighting, power electronics for integration

Facilitating replications
• Developing a common measurement framework• Sharing experiences on users involvement (living labs)• Common dissemination actions notably to public
authorithies• Provide socio-economic evidence for ICT investment
(user acceptance – ROI)• A consolidated set of Best Practices including guidelines,
manuals and training materials
