Abstract:
Past and present policy measures to stimulate energy savings in the household sector in EU-15 countries are analysed as to their type (regulatory, financial, information, etc.), their coverage of different energy applications and their estimated impact on energy consumption. Moreover the matching of national and EU-based policy measures is looked at. Finally a number of innovative policy measures are presented. This analysis comprises over 310 policy measures presently available for the residential sector in the MURE-database sponsored by the European Commission.
Based on these results and a theory on effective implementation of saving measures using policy measures, tentative conclusions are drawn on the amount and composition of policy measures in EU-countries, the role EU-policy can or should play and the effectiveness of the sets of policy measures in EU-countries.
