Energy and Transport Efficiency in Europe (EU)

The EED ESOS regulations in the UK have been updated across Europe where the focus is on “energy efficiency first. The UK may follow.

CLS Energy work with partners across Europe to deliver compliant EED energy and fleet assessments in member states that include:

Austria	Belgium	Cyprus	Denmark*
France	Germany	Greece	Ireland*
Italy	Sweden*	The Netherlands	Poland

*Our Director Alan Asbury is experienced, registered, and qualified to conduct the revised EED in several EU Member states including Denmark, Ireland, Sweden and UK (England, NI, Scotland & Wales.

Alan has worked with companies in these member states including:

Acre (Vanderbilt) Security, Denmark, BAM Construction Beiersdorf Nivea Denmark, Beiersdorf Nivea Sweden, the Courts Service (Ireland). Diesel Card Ireland, Enterprise Rent a Car Ireland, Stack Infrastructure (Denmark, Norway and Sweden), Ikea (Ireland), and Vanderbilt, Sweden,

Changes from the previous EED and ESOS directive (2012/27/EU) Article 8 include the following:

Legally-binding targets to reduce the EU’s final energy consumption by 11.7% by 2030 (relative to the 2020 reference scenario).

Each Member State to set its objective and indicative national contributions. Increasing annual energy savings now required from 0.8% to 1.3% (2024-2025), then 1.5% (2026-2027) and 1.9% from 2028 onwards.

New obligation to monitor the energy performance of data centres, with an EU-level database collecting and publishing data.

Member States to prioritise vulnerable customers and social housing within the scope of their energy savings measures. Introducing an annual energy consumption reduction target of 1.9% for the public sector as a whole. Public sector has not been part of ESOS in the past.

Extending annual 3% buildings renovation obligation to all the levels of public administration. Promoting local heating & cooling plans in larger municipalities. Progressively increasing the efficient energy consumption in heat or cold supply, also in district heating.

Moreover, thresholds around staffing and financials have now gone. Organisations in the EU27 that consume over 10TJ or energy must now comply. 10TJ is around 2.78GWh. This will mandate thousands of medium sized companies particularly those with modest haulage operations.

For example, a company with a fleet of 8-12 trucks operating across a country the size of England or Italy will now be mandated to four yearly EED assessments.

Previously a mandated company might have had 200 trucks.
