  1. THE DRAFT FRENCH ENERGY LAW AND WHITE CERTIFICATES SYSTEM Robert ANGIOLETTI Head of MS2E Department September, 21st 2004

  2. THE DRAFT FRENCH ENERGY LAW (1) • Energy efficiency target • Improve energy intensity: - 2 % per year, until 2015 • CO2 reduction target • Reduce CO2 emissions : - 2,5 % per year, until 2030 • Renewables targets : • Increase electricity (>21 %) and thermals (+ 50 %) renewable contribution until 2010 21/09/2004 - THE DRAFT FRENCH ENERGY LAW

  3. THE DRAFT FRENCH ENERGY LAW (2) • White certificates • Ambitious implementation of the directive on EE of buildings • Planning permission linked to integration of renewables • Communication (Tax on advertising) 21/09/2004 - THE DRAFT FRENCH ENERGY LAW

  4. WHITE CERTIFICATES : MAIN RULES (1) • Energy suppliers have to meet a target of energy savings (or pay a penalty) • They can implement actions or buy certificates • Over a threshold of savings, “eligible” bodies (companies, communities…) can made savings and get certificates • Energy savings must be “additional” 21/09/2004 - THE DRAFT FRENCH ENERGY LAW

  5. WHITE CERTIFICATES : MAIN RULES (2) • Obligations for electricity, gas, LPG, heat, cold and heating fuel suppliers • The savings can be made everywhere (except plants under CO2 quota directive) => Whatever the sector, the supplier, the energy source… • WC added value when renewables are used and within some geographic (specific) zones 21/09/2004 - THE DRAFT FRENCH ENERGY LAW

  6. WHITE CERTIFICATES : MAIN RULES (3) • Target 53 TWh For the first three years • Suppliers obliged : sells over 40 TWh/year • Transaction costs can be reported in case of regulated tariffs, at least partly • Expected cost : 20 €/MWh (penalty = 2 c€/kWh) 21/09/2004 - THE DRAFT FRENCH ENERGY LAW

  7. ADVANTAGES OF THE SYSTEM (1) • Reach numerous and scattered small consumers through the existing commercial activity of energy suppliers => Effective and cheap • A market based system that should drive down costs 21/09/2004 - THE DRAFT FRENCH ENERGY LAW

  8. ADVANTAGES OF THE SYSTEM (2) • Possible reduced administrative costs • A wide range of companies can be part of the system (craftsmen, retailers and producers of energy efficient products , municipalities, ESCOs…) => New activities and markets • A step towards energy efficiency services 21/09/2004 - THE DRAFT FRENCH ENERGY LAW

  9. QUESTIONS STILL OPENED • Calculation of “additional value” of certificates • Introducing quality for products and schemes (i.e. : bonus for audits…) • Simple and affordable control system And last but not least : • Will a real market exit ? 21/09/2004 - THE DRAFT FRENCH ENERGY LAW

  10. ADEME’s ROLE • Set methodologies for saving calculation and WC allocation • Propose assessment tools • Contribute to general information towards « eligible » bodies • Contribute to WC projects elaboration and improvement, • Contribute to assessment and best practice dissemination 21/09/2004 - THE DRAFT FRENCH ENERGY LAW
