| Popis: | International audience; Although a substantial economic energy saving potential exists in the residential sector of the EuropeanUnion, the energy efficiency service (EES) market is much less developed in this market segment than inother demand sectors (e.g. the industry or the public/service sector).This paper presents an analysis of the current situation and existing potentials for future expansion. Aspecific analysis methodology has been developed and applied by a research consortium in 18 EUcountries. This methodology has mostly built upon an extensive review of the existing literature and oninterviews of a large number of acknowledged experts. Its application has allowed identifyingencouraging development trends in specific market segments where the possibility of aggregating theEES demand or of exploiting good relationships with customers have created interesting investmentopportunities. These trends have been observed in particular in Germany, Denmark, France, Flanders(BE), Hungary, Romania and UK. The assessment performed has also allowed discussing a series ofstrategies and policy measures that can be adopted to overcome existing barriers to market development.The general conclusion drawn in the paper is that energy efficiency policies supporting EESmarkets in the residential sector are highly needed. Although EU policies have typically a limited directimpact, they can increase trust into EESs and EES providers. At the national level, a stronger collaborationof governments or local administrations with banks to finance EESs is still very necessary in manyEU countries. |
