Evaluation, Quantification and Strengthening of the Implementation of the Policies and EM&V under Article 7 of the EED

Introduction

ENSMOV Plus will directly support public authorities and key stakeholders in 11 Member States represented by its consortium (IT, FR, GR, AT, DE, PL, RO, HR, HU, SI, LT) in implementing the Article 7 recast EED requirements.

Objectives

More specifically, it will assist them to monitor, improve, complement, and evaluate the design and implementation of their energy efficiency policies by developing resources on practical issues they face.

Challenges

As the implementation of the Article 7 EED has shown, public authorities have limited time and resources to share experiences at the EU level. Previous and current projects (EC H2020 ENSMOV, MULTEE, EPATEE) demonstrated that the opportunity to share experiences is very welcome by public authorities.

Experience Sharing Programme

To find implementation challenges and solutions for energy efficiency obligations (EEOs), alternative measures, and monitoring and verification (EMV) schemes, as well as proper evaluations of their policies, ENSMOV Plus has designed an experience sharing programme with a structured set of thematic workshops to address Article 7 EED requirements.

Technical Support

These exchanges are underpinned by technical support to ensure that experience sharing results in positive impacts and actual improvements of policy implementation and monitoring.

Engagement Tools

An important tool for the active engagement of public authorities will be the upgrade of the Article 7 EED platform (developed under IEE ENSPOL and currently ENSMOV projects).

Expected Outcomes

This programme will cover several crucial EMV and policy implementation topics and is expected to result in improved capacity of 150 unique participants (at least 45 public officers).

Conclusion

These efforts will all lead to a smoother transition in the new Article 7 EED era under the Fit-for-55 package.
