The Directive 2006/32 / EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 April 2006 on energy efficiency and energy services (Energy Services Directive) wrote set the objective that all EU member states by 2016 each final energy savings in the amount of nine percent compared to realize and prove the average final energy consumption between 2001 and 2005. However, the nine percent was not a legally binding target, but only an indicative target . The Member States could not be sued before the European Court of Justice if they failed to achieve their respective indicative target, but only if they did not show any serious efforts to achieve the target. The benchmark energy saving value (9% target value) for Germany was around 833 PJ up to 2016.
The final energy savings were to be achieved in all consumption sectors and should be achieved through energy services and energy efficiency measures on the demand side. The directive gave the Member States a choice between different instruments to increase energy efficiency and to promote the energy services market.
In Germany, the directive was implemented in national law by the law on energy services and other energy efficiency measures of November 4, 2010.
The directive has now been replaced by the Energy Efficiency Directive 2012/27 / EU of October 25, 2012, although essential elements have been incorporated into the new directive.
Proof of savings
The EU states had to present their policies for the implementation of the directive to the EU Commission (Article 14) in three consecutive energy efficiency action plans on June 30, 2007, 2011 and 2014. With the help of a committee in accordance with Article 16 ( comitology procedure ) of the directive, the EU Commission developed a harmonized model for measuring and calculating energy savings.
On behalf of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (the responsible ministry for implementing the directive) , the Federal Agency for Energy Efficiency , which is located at the Federal Office of Economics and Export Control (BAFA), has been responsible for overall control and overall supervision of the implementation of the EU directive. BAFA was supported by the German Energy Agency (dena), which collected and presented existing projects and proposals for specific energy services and energy efficiency measures on the national information and communication platform for the EDL directive and communicated them to the commissioned federal agency. This assessed the final energy savings achieved with regard to their eligibility for the purposes of the directive. With its 3rd National Energy Efficiency Action Plan in 2014, Germany demonstrated that it had achieved its goals.

- ↑ PJ: petajoules ; 1 petajoule = 10 15 J = 278 GWh . For comparison: 31.536 PJ = 8760 GWh = 1 gigawatt year - energy output from a 1000 megawatt power plant in one year. (See also magnitude (energy) )
