First things first
För alla oss som inte har en galax över och en miljon år på oss att få fart på ekonomin, eller som kanske bara tycker att det kan vara klokt att hushålla med resurser, så är RAPs (The Regulatory Assistance Project) råd att ta saker i rätt ordning ett bra sätt att börja. Nämligen från början – First things first. Alltså med energieffektvisering.
* Enable energy efficiency and demand response to participate on a level playing field with supply in both national energy markets and cross-border and regional market interactions…..
* Remove all restrictions and incentives that block investment in efficiency by regulated energy companies, and introduce a least-cost investment standard …..
* Closely monitor progress on targeted interventions, including the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, Energy Efficiency Directive, and Ecodesign Directives and, where necessary, launch enforcement actions. Improve guidance on Article 7 of the EED, and extend and strengthen energy efficiency obligations.
* Fully account for efficiency in energy resource policy development and planning by revisiting discount rates, aligning demand projections across the EU energy landscape to avoid unnecessary investments in fossil fuel infrastructure and bills, and accounting for the multiple benefits of efficiency.
