Task 22 – Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standards

• Participants analysed various approaches, including Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standards (EEPS) approaches adopted to promote EE and assessed their efficacy.
• Participants analysed design parameters (e.g., participants, coverage, timing and duration, enforcement mechanism, funding, and measurement and verification) and developed best practices for implementing EEPS.
• Participants identified and engaged various stakeholder groups in the dissemination of information on developing EEPS.

Results

Publication of Best Practices in Designing and Implementing Energy Efficiency Obligation Schemes. This report covers 19 EEO schemes implemented in a range of jurisdictions around the world.

Despite the diversity of EEO schemes, three broad schemes were identified:

1. Schemes with quantitative energy saving targets that have been established relatively independently, often with their own enabling legislation.
2. Schemes with quantitative energy saving targets that are integral components of resource planning and acquisition by the obligated energy providers.
3. Schemes with quantitative energy saving targets that have been established principally by governments as integral
