Table of Contents of the Annexes Annex - Procedural issues Lead DG and associated DGs The preparation of the Impact Assessment started at the end of 2015. The inter-service group meetings on this document were held on 27 April 2016. The lead Directorate-General is DG Energy. The services invited to the ISG were Agriculture and Rural Development; Budget; Communications Networks, Content and Technology; Climate Action; Competition; Economic
Other financial actors, such as commercial banks, which may benefit from increased business opportunities. Table 1: An overview of the stakeholder groups affected by this initiative Stakeholder group Article 1 and 3 Article 7 Articles 9-11 Member States authorities Will be responsible for planning and implementing necessary energy efficiency policy to achieve the energy efficiency target 2030, they can benefit from lower energy bills, economic growth, employment impacts and improved energy security of supply etc. Will be responsible for planning and implementing necessary energy efficiency policy in view of the next obligation period; Will benefit from the coherence and complementarity with the other legislation as Article 7, e.g. will contribute to the achievement of more ambitious GHG emission reduction targets under the Effort Sharing Decision for 2030; Will be responsible for planning and implementing necessary energy efficiency policy. Obligated parties (energy distributors or retail energy sales companies), and participating and entrusted parties (enterprises or public authorities) X Will be carrying out the energy efficiency measures and work with the consumers, including auditing the savings ensuring reporting to the implementing public authority; Will benefit from lower administrative burden as a result of simplification of what savings can be counted under Article 7, especially those targeting the energy efficiency renovations; Obligated parties will benefit from the improved reputation and better relationship with consumers thanks to consumer oriented business approach; Utilities will benefit from lower energy generation (and transmission) costs for the utilities District heating/cooling companies as well as owners or managers of buildings or service providers will have to be involved in implementing the new billing and metering rules and adjust their processes.
Consumers With an ambitious energy efficiency commitment of Member States, consumers benefit from an improved energy efficiency framework/measures which will help consumers to bear the costs of the energy efficiency measures, and they will benefit from the reduced energy bills, higher living standards, health benefits etc. Consumers will bear some costs of energy efficiency measures, and will benefit from reduced energy bills as a result of energy efficiency improvement measures and lower energy consumption; The energy poor will benefit from the continued policy as Art. 7 targets mostly energy efficiency renovations of existing buildings. Consumers will benefit from increased awareness of the benefits of energy efficiency, and possibly better – customer oriented service by the energy providers. Consumers of centrally provided thermal energy will benefit from more frequent, accurate, clearer additional billing and consumption information. Businesses including SMEs Will benefit from increased business opportunities and innovation with an ambitious 2030 energy efficiency target Will benefit from increased business opportunities and innovation (energy performance contracting) and competitiveness related to the more developed energy services market; Demand for energy services would require more skills and jobs to perform the renovations and installation of the energy efficiency measures. Will benefit from increased business opportunities and innovation. Investors and financial actors Play a crucial role to provide smart financing solutions for energy efficiency investments in order to exploit energy efficiency potentials to achieve the 2030 energy efficiency target Investors will have greater investment security and stable investment return and may benefit from increased business opportunities; Financial actors such as commercial banks will benefit from increased business opportunities.

A brief description of the methodology is outlined below. Calculation of the baseline scenario - Article 7 expires post 2020 This analysis is based on the notified savings (cumulative amount of 250.3 Mtoe by 2020) from the policy measures that Member States have planned in order to fulfil their Article 7 energy savings requirement by 2020. The analysis is based on the notified annual savings per policy measure and the assigned lifetimes during which they will deliver energy savings based on CEN-values, as the savings notified by the Member States at the policy measure level contained actions with different lifetimes, which were not split per specific type of these energy saving actions. The data notified by the Member States enabled an attribution of only 57% of the savings to one of the four lifetime categories: with relative contributions of 27% long, 51% medium long, 10% medium and 11% short lifetimes (see Figure 47).
