Information on the options for implementing Article 7 of Directive

2012/27/EU on energy efficiency in the Slovak Republic

The Ministry of Economic Affairs of the Slovak Republic, which is responsible for the transposition of

Directive 2012/27/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on energy

efficiency, amending Directives 2009/125/EC and 2010/30/EU and repealing Directives 2004/8/EC

and 2006/32/EC (hereinafter 'the Directive') into Slovak law, has drawn up this document entitled

'Information on the options for implementing Article 7 of Directive 2012/27/EU on energy efficiency

in the Slovak Republic, within the meaning of Article 7(9) of the Directive'.

Pursuant to Article 28(1) the Ministry of Economic Affairs has drawn up draft generally binding legal

regulations to transpose the Directive into national law. One piece of legislation currently at the

preparatory stage is a law aimed at supporting energy efficiency.

In the preparation of that law, the Slovak Republic has considered a number of alternatives such as

introducing a mandatory energy efficiency scheme (hereinafter 'mandatory scheme') and

implementing political measures aimed at achieving energy saving.1

Option 1 – Mandatory energy efficiency scheme

This option is aimed at achieving in full the objective of energy saving solely by means of a

mandatory scheme. Among those affected would be electricity 2, gas 2 and heating suppliers3.

Positive Negative

Minimising the impact on the State budget Raising end prices of energy

Maintaining the State budget deficit Deepening energy poverty

Option 2 – Political measures

If this option is chosen, the procedure would be based solely on State-operated measures. The

participation of obligated parties (Option 1) would merely be complementary; for example in the

form of voluntary agreements.

Positive Negative

Maintaining stable end prices for energy Major burden for the State budget

Eliminating the growth of energy poverty Raising the State budget deficit

Option 3 – Combined option of mandatory scheme and political measures

1 National Reform Programme of the Slovak Republic 2013, Government Resolution No 198 of 24 April 2013

2 Act No 251/2012 on the energy sector and amending certain other acts

3 Act No 657/2004 on heat energy, as amended

Having assessed the options for achieving the objective of saving energy and the impact of such

measures, the Slovak Ministry of Economic Affairs, as administrator of the Directive, suggests taking

Option 3, combining the possibilities offered by the mandatory scheme and political measures, the

guiding principle being to reduce the negative impact of Options 1 and 2.

Among the political measures, the Slovak Republic is planning to launch the following:

1) Operational Programme Competitiveness & Economic Growth

Managing authority: Ministry of Economic Affairs of the Slovak Republic

Scope Energy efficiency in undertakings and consultancy

Lifespan of measures: Technical solutions in undertakings: > 2020; consultancy: two years.

2) Operational Programme Environmental Quality (preparatory stage)

Managing authority: Ministry of the Environment of the Slovak Republic

Scope: Energy efficiency in undertakings, energy efficiency of public buildings, consultancy and

education, energy efficiency in the public sector (energy efficiency action plans, energy

management systems) and support for deploying energy services

Lifespan of measures: Technical solutions in undertakings and buildings: > 2020; consultancy,

education and the public sector: two years

3) Building refurbishment and heating

Managing authority: State Building Fund

Scope: Energy performance of residential buildings

Lifespan of measures: Technical solutions in buildings: >2020

4) Regional Operational Programme

Managing authority: Slovak Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development

Scope: Energy performance of public buildings


5) Health Operational Programme

Managing authority: Slovak Ministry of Health



6) Energy efficiency programme


Scope: Energy performance of family residences, energy performance of the buildings of central

government bodies


7) Integrated regional operational programme 2014–2020



Lifespan of measures: preparatory stage

8) Rural Development Programmes 2014–2020


Guidelines: preparatory stage


9) Introduction of smart metering systems


Guidelines: preparatory stage


As part of the political measures we plan to save 5 738.9 GWh of energy:

2014 188.3 0 0 0 0 0 0

2015 242.3 87.3 0 0 0 0 0

2016 316.3 141.3 211.6 0 0 0 0

2017 262.3 255.3 265.6 83 0 0 0

2018 262.3 201.3 379.6 137 91 0 0

2019 262.3 201.3 325.6 218 145 100 0

2020 262.3 201.3 325.6 164 145 154 110

Total 1 796.1 1 087.8 1 508 602 381 254 110 5 738.9

As previously mentioned, the objective will be achieved by means of a combination of political

measures and mandatory schemes; under mandatory energy-efficiency schemes we plan to make

the following savings with energy undertakings:

2014 1238 0 0 0 0 0 0

2015 1 238 1 178 0 0 0 0 0

2016 1 238 1 178 1 117 0 0 0 0

2017 1 238 1 178 1 117 1 022 0 0 0

2018 1 238 1 178 1 117 1 022 896 0 0

2019 1 238 1 178 1 117 1 022 896 835 0

2020 1 238 1 178 1 117 1 022 896 835 808

Spolu 8 666 7 068 5 585 4 088 2 688 1 670 808 30 573

Heating traders who own infrastructure will also be able to make savings on that infrastructure,

though the amount of energy savings achieved may not exceed 25 % of the amount of the overall

objective for 2014–2020.

Conclusion:

The Slovak Republic's objective in the years 2014 to 2020 is to achieve energy savings of 36 303 GWh.

This amount will be further amended after the publication of the final 2012 energy-consumption

figure by the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic (December 2013).

As mentioned above, energy undertakings will play a role in that energy saving, with the State also

playing its part by means of political measures. The amount of the objective for the mandatory

scheme will be amended according to the effectiveness of political measures during the reporting

period.

Where the amount of political measures is still at the preparatory stage the data given should be

taken as indicative.
