1. Eco Product Design/Energy Label LOT1

Updates

EC method CEN/CENELEC method

Status Published in Official Journal of the EU (3rd July)

Adopted (27th June)

Proposed methodology

Impact on the label

- Most micro-CHP technologies likely to get an A+ label at best

- Labels A++ and A+++ are accessible to highly efficient micro-CHPs

Deadline to label products: 26 September 2015

1. Eco Product Design/Energy Label LOT1

Next steps – alternative routes forward

Short term: • Considering the choice between the two methodologies with respect to next year’s

implementation deadline. • Establishing an a priori dialogue with the ADCO group (Ecodesign market surveillance admin

coop group)

Long term: • Trying to gain support among the new Commission around the industry supported approach

regular review of Ecodesing/Energy Labelling Directives or review of Lot1 regulations

• Possibility for early review? Others?

2. Network Code on Requirements for all Generators (NC RfG)

Introduction

Requirements applicable to micro-CHP

www.cogeneurope.eu

2. Network Code on Requirements for all Generators (NC RfG)

Introduction

Emerging technology classification

Micro-CHP class is covered by the “emerging technology” classification

transitional arrangements for emerging technologies with a limited number non-

compliant Type A units allowed to be installed as long as the penetration in any synchronous area does not exceed a level still to be determined

new NC RfG comitology draft expected to include a threshold of 0.1% of the

maximum grid load 0.1% translates in approx. 300 MWel in Continental Europe and 50 MWel in United Kingdom

2. Network Code on Requirements for all Generators (NC RfG)

Timeline

www.cogeneurope.eu

• NC RfG – micro-CHP concerns:

• Threshold value (Title 6):

Ensure that the “emerging technology” classification threshold value is

defined in the NC RfG Agreement reached on 0.1% threshold

• Manufacturers derogation (Title 5):

NC RfG to allow manufacturers of small units to apply directly for a class

derogation Commission still to propose a text alternative

• Randomised disconnection (Title 3):

Randomised disconnection for a group of generators as an alternative to

individual units reducing active power in overfrequency situations

Not in Commission’s priorities/CENELEC and ENTSO-E currently

working on technical paper to supply evidence

• CENELEC/ENTSO-E

• Evidence paper on randomised disconnection benefits

• Technical specifications for the implementation of network codes

Call for manufacturers to contribute to the CENELEC/ENTSO-E survey by 30th July

Art.7: • MS are required to introduce an “energy efficiency obligation scheme”

requiring energy suppliers to save 1,5% of the annual energy sales to final consumers (from 2014-2020)

micro-CHP could be eligible as an end-use technology (e.g. Eligible for white certificates in France)

CHP, including micro-CHP • MS may facilitate the grid connection of micro-cogeneration units • MS shall take steps to encourage a simple notification “install and

inform” process for the installation of micro-cogeneration units

www.cogeneurope.eu

• Article 7 – micro-CHP to be included in the toolbox of technologies eligible under the Energy Efficiency Obligation

• Article 14 – include micro-CHP in the Comprehensive Assessments

• Article 15 – “fit & inform” simplified connection procedure for micro-CHP

• Article 7 & 8 - promote micro-CHP in energy efficiency programs for private consumers and SMEs

• Articles 4, 5 & 6 – focus on micro-CHP & increasing renovation rates in buildings across Europe

4. Discussion on support scheme designs, feed-in tariffs & micro-CHP

Overview of micro-CHP support schemes

• Germany: feed-in premium & grant

• UK: feed-in tariff

• Belgium: Green certificates & quota obligation schemes, grants (Brussels/Walloon Region)

• Netherlands: regional support schemes

• Slovenia: feed-in premium
