COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2019/826
of 4 March 2019
amending Annexes VIII and IX to Directive 2012/27/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on the contents of comprehensive assessments of the potential for efficient heating and cooling
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2012/27/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on energy efficiency (1), and in particular Article 22 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Directive 2012/27/EU establishes the framework and content of the comprehensive assessments by the Member States on the potential for efficiency in heating and cooling. |
(2) |
Articles 22 and 23(2) of the Directive 2012/27/EU empowers the Commission to adopt delegated acts to adapt the requirements of Annexes VIII and IX. |
(3) |
The first cycle of comprehensive assessments was analysed by the Commission. Gathering new data, identifying new potentials and exchanging best practices for energy efficiency for heating and cooling confirmed the benefits of the comprehensive assessments and confirmed the need for the Commission to request that Member States update and notify the second cycle of comprehensive assessments. |
(4) |
The assessments varied in methodology and content, so clearer requirements, technological neutrality and better link to policy were identified as areas for improvement. The requirements on the content of the comprehensive assessments need to be updated before the second cycle in order to increase the usefulness of the gathered information for the Member States and the Commission, to simplify the information to be provided and to better link to other legislation of the energy union, namely Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) on the Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action and Directives (EU) 2018/844 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) amending Directive 2010/31/EU on the energy performance of buildings and Directive 2012/27/EU on energy efficiency, Directive (EU) 2018/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) amending Directive 2012/27/EU on energy efficiency, and Directive (EU) 2018/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5) on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources. |
(5) |
In identifying planned heating and cooling supply points and district heating transmission installations, an appropriate tool for Member States to use is data on applications for permits. |
(6) |
Member States and stakeholders have been consulted on the process of the comprehensive assessments and on a draft working document of the updated Annex VIII at a joint consultation meeting on 25 October 2018. |
(7) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation were discussed by the Member State experts in accordance with Article 22 of Directive (EU) 2018/2002. |
(8) |
Annex VIII and Part 1 of Annex IX to Directive 2012/27/EU should therefore be adapted, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Potential for efficiency in heating and cooling
1. Annex VIII to Directive 2012/27/EU is replaced by the text in Annex I to this regulation.
2. Annex IX to Directive 2012/27/EU is amended as set out in Annex II to this regulation.
Article 2
Entry into force and application
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

ANNEX I
Amendment to Annex VIII
Annex VIII of Directive 2012/27/EU is replaced as follows:
‘ANNEX VIII
Potential for efficiency in heating and cooling
The comprehensive assessment of national heating and cooling potentials referred to in Article 14(1) shall include and be based on the following:
Part I

(a) |
by technology, in GWh per year (3), within sectors mentioned under point 1 where possible, distinguishing between energy derived from fossil and renewable sources:

4. a forecast of trends in the demand for heating and cooling to maintain a perspective of the next 30 years in GWh and taking into account in particular projections for the next 10 years, the change in demand in buildings and different sectors of the industry, and the impact of policies and strategies related to the demand management, such as long-term building renovation strategies under Directive (EU) 2018/844;
Part II
OBJECTIVES, STRATEGIES AND POLICY MEASURES
5. planned contribution of the Member State to its national objectives, targets and contributions for the five dimensions of the energy union, as laid out in Article 3(2)(b) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1999, delivered through efficiency in heating and cooling, in particular related to points 1 to 4 of Article 4(b) and to paragraph (4)(b) of Article 15, identifying which of these elements is additional compared to integrated national energy and climate plans;
6. general overview of the existing policies and measures as described in the most recent report submitted in accordance with Articles 3, 20, 21 and 27(a) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1999;
Part III
ANALYSIS OF THE ECONOMIC POTENTIAL FOR EFFICIENCY IN HEATING AND COOLING
7. an analysis of the economic potential (5) of different technologies for heating and cooling shall be carried out for the entire national territory by using the cost-benefit analysis referred to in Article 14(3) and shall identify alternative scenarios for more efficient and renewable heating and cooling technologies, distinguishing between energy derived from fossil and renewable sources where applicable.
The following technologies should be considered:
(a) |
industrial waste heat and cold; |
(b) |
waste incineration; |
(c) |
high efficiency cogeneration; |
(d) |
renewable energy sources (such as geothermal, solar thermal and biomass) other than those used for high efficiency cogeneration; |

(f) |
reducing heat and cold losses from existing district networks; |
8. this analysis of economic potential shall include the following steps and considerations:
(a) |
Considerations:

|
(d) |
Boundaries and integrated approach:
|
(e) |
Assumptions:

(f) |
Sensitivity analysis:
|
Part IV
POTENTIAL NEW STRATEGIES AND POLICY MEASURES
9. overview of new legislative and non-legislative policy measures (8) to realise the economic potential identified in accordance with points 7 and 8, along with their foreseen:
(a) |
greenhouse gas emission reductions; |
(b) |
primary energy savings in GWh per year; |
(c) |
impact on the share of high-efficiency cogeneration; |
(d) |
impact on the share of renewables in the national energy mix and in the heating and cooling sector; |
(e) |
links to national financial programming and cost savings for the public budget and market participants; |
(f) |
estimated public support measures, if any, with their annual budget and identification of the potential aid element. |
(1) The amount of thermal energy needed to satisfy the heating and cooling demand of end-users.
(2) The most recent data available should be used.
(3) The most recent data available should be used.
(4) The identification of “renewable cooling” shall, after the methodology for calculating the quantity of renewable energy used for cooling and district cooling is established in accordance with Article 35 of Directive (EU) 2018/2001, be carried out in accordance with that Directive. Until then it shall be carried out according to an appropriate national methodology.
(5) The analysis of the economic potential should present the volume of energy (in GWh) that can be generated per year by each technology analysed. The limitations and interrelations within the energy system should also be taken into account. The analysis may make use of models based on assumptions representing the operation of common types of technologies or systems.
(6) Including the assessment referred to in Article 15, paragraph 7 of Directive (EU) 2018/2001.
(7) The cut-off date for taking into account policies for the baseline scenario is the end of the year preceding to the year by the end of which the comprehensive assessment is due. That is to say, policies enacted within a year prior to the deadline for submission of the comprehensive assessment do not need to be taken into account.
(8) This overview shall include financing measures and programmes that may be adopted over the period of the comprehensive assessment, not prejudging a separate notification of the public support schemes for a State aid assessment,
