The electricity sector provides energy efficiency services to customers on a daily basis. These services are instruments for building and sustaining customer relationships, and have the potential to evolve into a successful business opportunity. But what business models have electricity companies developed? How does the picture vary across Europe? How has the regulatory framework affected business strategies? What are the opportunities? How have barriers been tackled? In light of the proposed Energy Efficiency Directive, a EURELECTRIC workshop discussed these issues by examining up-to-date practices and lessons to be learned from electricity companies across Europe… (More on www.eurelectric.org in Daily News – Password needed)

Following its recent call to boost the market for energy efficiency services, EURELECTRIC today published the results of a survey on energy efficiency services, carried out among 170 electricity companies across Europe. The survey assesses the degree of activities that electricity companies provide to their customers, the barriers that companies face and the opportunities that might arise.

EURELECTRIC officially unveiled its 5th Energy Wisdom Programme (EWP) Report on 4 May at a European Parliament event on “The Role of Energy Efficiency in Europe 2020”. “To achieve our carbon-neutrality objective, a paradigm shift to energy efficient technologies will be needed. The Electricity Industry thus needs EU institutions to take a leading role in Energy Efficiency and is willing to work in close cooperation with policy-makers in that perspective”, EURELECTRIC Secretary General Hans ten Berge told the 100 delegates from Parliament, Commission and industry attending the event. The 5th EWP Report outlines the result of the 2008-2009 reporting cycle. Nineteen electricity companies reported some 200 projects, ranging from power generation through transmission & distribution to end-use energy efficiency, thus contributing to the avoidance of some 180 MTCO2 eq. and saving about 18 Mtoe in primary fuel. Hosting the event, Lena Ek MEP declared “Energy Efficiency has a key role to play in achieving the Europe 2020 targets. European industry can save vast amounts of money and reduce carbon emissions if companies disseminate best practice in energy efficiency. Therefore, I strongly believe that we should encourage innovation that leads to greater energy efficiency in the private sector”.
