Energy Efficiency Agreements 2017-2025

▪ Comprehensive voluntary energy efficiency agreement scheme was initiated in

Finland as early as in 1997

▪ The agreement scheme has produced desired results

▪ The new agreement period 2017–2025 launched in January 2017

Subsidies for energy audits and energy efficiency investments

▪ The Government subsidies* the Motiva-model energy audits and analyses.

▪ According to Article 6 of the Energy Efficiency Act (1429/2014), the mandatory energy

audits of large companies are not subsidised

▪ The Government subsidies* case-dependently available for energy efficiency

investments* using new energy-efficient technology

▪ The participants in Energy Efficiency Agreements can also apply for

discretionary subsidies* from the Government for conventional energy efficiency

investments

* Energy subsidies are not granted for housing properties

TARGET SETTING

EEAs 2017–2025

▪ Indicative target in energy units will be set in accession documents

▪ Target for the whole period will be set for the year 2025 and intermediate target

for the year 2020

▪ Target for the year 2025 corresponds 7.5% of the participant energy use**

▪ Target for the year 2020 corresponds 4% of the participant energy use

▪ The targets will be calculated on the participant’s most recent available energy

use which corresponds normal operation

▪ Participant’s absolute energy use need not in years 2020 and 2025 to be less

than in the year reported in the accession document

▪ To be countable for the follow up of the achievement of the targets energy

savings for the implemented measures need to be in force in the follow up year

* Medium-sized industry and private service sector

* If participant wants to use 2014−2016 reported measures targets are higher (10,5% and 7%)

Geothermal heating3 public schools (2012 - 2013)

▪ Municipality organized a public tendering process

▪ The construction company was selected with full

service ability: earthmoving, responsible for building

permits, taking care of drilling debris and

disassembling old heating systems

▪ Installation of heat pumps

▪ Drilling depth varied from 240m to 350m

▪ 10 -15 drilled wells per school

▪ Installation took 1-2 months

▪ Old oil boilers and electric grid were kept as backup

50/50 Model

• 3 schools participated Euronet 50/50 project

2014–2015 EU project of energy saving in schools –

Aim was to reduce water, electricity and heat

consumption

• During 2014 schools saved energy worth of 6 351 €

• According to 50/50-metod municipality will refund 50 % of

the saved energy to schools

• 2016: 50/50 model is in use in every school and

kindergarten
