The role of consumers in changing the market through informed decision and collective actions (EC-1)

Oronzo Daloiso

Project Advisor

EASME B1 – H2020 Energy

Topic

#H2020Energy

• Type of action: Coordination and Support Action (100%)

• Expected EU contribution: ≈ EUR 1-2 M

• Opening: 5 March 2020

• Deadline: 10 September 2020

Challenge

• A precondition for active demand is for consumers to be aware of their own potential to permanently or temporarily reduce energy consumption and what is the monetary value of that potential in the market.

• Different forms of collective action have the potential to assist consumers in forming critical mass and to facilitate increased uptake of energy efficiency and active demand solutions and services.

• Lack of awareness on the potential benefits of such actions, together with regulatory barriers, hamper their full development.

#H2020Energy

Scope

Set up and/or support energy communities to:

#H2020Energy

Increase energy efficiency within the

community

Optimise energy management to

integrate a greater share of renewable

energy

and / or

Scope

The proposed action should:

#H2020Energy

Identify and address regulatory barriers and contractual

conditions for cooperative actions

Demonstrate that collectively organised energy-related actions

are financially viable and attractive to the members of the

energy commnunities

Impact

Proposals are expected to demonstrate impacts depending on the scope addressed:

#H2020Energy

Primary energy savings

triggered (in GWh/year)

Involvement of at least 5 000

consumers per MEUR of EU

funding

Investments in sustainable

energy triggered (MEUR)

Increase domestic uptake of

energy efficient products and

servicesContribution to

reducing regulatory

barriers and improving

contractual conditions

Lessons learnt

• Build a Consortium with relevant stakeholders necessary to implement what you propose

• Go beyond BAU

• Consider European added value of proposed action

• Think about the project’s legacy from the start

• Credibility and clear calculations are key when assessing impacts

– Substantiate the foreseen energy savings (present clear baselines, benchmarks and assumptions)

– Demonstrate a clear link to the proposed activities

• Build on existing projects

Mitigating household energy poverty (EC-2)

Nina Klemola

Project Advisor

EASME B1 – H2020 Energy

Challenge

• Around 50 million Europeans are affected by energy poverty

• Low income and poor thermal insulation of buildings

• Efficiency measures at the household level and increased use of renewable energy can be tools to address energy poverty

#H2020Energy

Type of action: CSA (100%)

Expected EU contribution: ≈ EUR 1-2 M

Opening: 5 March 2020

Deadline: 10 September 2020

Scope

#H2020Energy

Contribute to actively alleviating energy

poverty

Develop a better understanding of the types and needs of

energy poor households and how to identify

them

Build on existing initiatives, such as the

EPOV

The proposed action should:

The proposed action should cover one or more of the following:

Scope

Facilitate behaviour change and implementation of low-

cost energy efficiency measures tailored for energy

poor households

Support the set-up of financial and non-financial support

schemes for energy efficiency and/or small

scale renewable energy investments

for energy poor households

Develop, test and disseminate innovative schemes for energy

efficiency/RE investments established by utilities or other

obligated parties under Article 7 (Energy Efficiency Obligation

Schemes)

#H2020Energy

Proposals are expected to demonstrate impacts, as relevant:

Impact

Primary energy savings triggered by the project (GWh/year)

Investments in sustainable energy triggered (in million Euro)

Contributions to policy development and to best practice development on energy poverty

At least 5,000 consumers per million Euro of EU funding

Support schemes established for energy efficiency and/or small-scale RE investments and to be sustained beyond action

#H2020Energy

Lessons learnt

• Focus on energy poor households

• Do not replicate previous actions - build on them!

• Consider European added value of proposed action

• Demonstrate how you intend to identify and have access to participating energy poor households

• Impact is crucial:

Substantiate the foreseen energy savings (present clear baselines, benchmarks and assumptions)

Demonstrate a clear link to the proposed activities

Smart energy services valorising energy efficiency and flexibility at demand-side

Ulrike Nuscheler

Project Adviser

EASME – H2020 Energy Unit

Challenge

Potential for Energy (Efficiency) Services not sufficiently tapped while new technologies enablenew types of innovative, bundled services:

• better control and steering of consumption according to market and system needs andavailability of RES;

• integration of energy services with non-energy benefits;

• accurate monitoring and verification of energy savings and flexibility through datagenerated by ICT

-> thus providing for appropriate remuneration of optimised consumption.

New opportunities for business models tapping new target groups, sectors and financialresources.

Type of action: CSA (100%); Budget: 6 M €

Opening 5 March 2020

Closing 10 September 2020

Scope

Actions should take up and advance smart energy services concepts evolved in themarket, including concepts developed, proven and tested under H2020

Proposals should demonstrate that they help converge innovative, successfully testedservice elements

• well adapted to the needs of the market and of the potential users

• compatible with on-going technological innovation

Actions should clearly address

• revenue streams

• use of monitoring and verification schemes

• contractual aspects

Scope – more specifically

Actions should further develop, adapt and refine concepts for smart energy services:

integrating EE services with other energy services (e.g. distributed generation,demand response, e-mobility etc.);

integrating EE services with non-energy related services (e.g. comfort, health,convenience, maintenance, safety etc.);

factoring in customer individualised energy services benefitting from a betterunderstanding of behaviour and from new data analytics tools, while

• using more accurate and dynamic measurement and verification (e.g. through 'bigdata”)

• addressing potential legal and contractual aspects.

Impacts

Improved viability of innovative energy services;

Growing offer and up-take of services combining energy efficiency with other energy services, technologies and non-energy benefits;

Growing up-take of innovative data gathering and processing methods in the monitoring and verification of energy savings and flexibility;

Application of methods and concepts to ensure that innovative energy services are reliable and verifiable.

On-going projects:

NOVICE (06/2017 – 05/2020): Development of “dual energy services” integrating flexibilityinto financing scheme of EPC; Memorandum of Understanding between key market actors,ESCOs and aggregators;

AmBIENCe 06/2019 - 11/2021): Adapting the traditional EPC model to performanceguarantees considering the value of flexibility; extending it to groups and clusters ofbuildings. Based on an “Active Building Concept”;

SENSEI (09/2019 – 08/2022): Integrating “Pay for Performance” (P4P) schemes with EPCmodels for the EU-markets, thus combining valorisation of energy efficiency withvalorisation of peak reduction.
