THE DRAFT FRENCH ENERGY LAW AND WHITE CERTIFICATES SYSTEM

1
THE DRAFT FRENCH ENERGY LAW AND WHITE
CERTIFICATES SYSTEM

• Robert ANGIOLETTI
• Head of MS2E Department
• March, 3rd 2005

2
WHITE CERTIFICATES MAIN RULES (1)

• Energy suppliers have to meet a target of energy
  savings (or pay a penalty)
• They can implement actions or buy certificates
• Over a threshold of savings, eligible bodies
  (building owners, companies, communities) can
  made savings and get certificates
• Energy savings must be additional

3
WHITE CERTIFICATES MAIN RULES (2)

• Obligations are given to electricity, gas, LPG,
  heat, cooling and heating suppliers
• The savings can be made everywhere
• (except plants under CO2 quota Directive)
• gt Whatever the sector, the supplier,
• the energy source
• WC added value when renewables are used and
  within some geographic (specific) zones

4
WHITE CERTIFICATES MAIN RULES (3)

• Target 54,7 TWh (discounted)
• For the first three years (2006/2008)
• Obliged suppliers sales gt 400 GWh/year
• ( still in discussion - level should be lower
  depending on nature of energy and market
  structures)

5
WHITE CERTIFICATES MAIN RULES (4)

• Transaction costs can be reported in case of
  regulated tariffs
• Expected cost 10 /MWh
• (max 20 /MWh as penalty 2 c/kWh)
• Minimal WC program size 3 GWh
• (discounted 6 rate, on life time of equipment
  and/or measure)

6
Main rules to integrate additionnality

• All measures initiated by an obliged energy
  supplier are accepted
• All measures operated by an eligible owner
  (building owner, industrial company ) for its
  own patrimony are accepted
• For other bodies (manufacturers, traders),
  measures are accepted only if
• - No increasement of turn over,
• - If increasement of turn over, measure is an
  innovative product or service (to be defined)

7
Bottom-up methodology (1)

• These methodologies apply only for standard
  elementary measures
• They are still under discussion
• EXEMPLE
• Application sector Heating in residential
  sector
• Name of elementary measure Installing a
  condensing boiler
• Definition of a reference consumption for a
  typology of houses using criterions to
  disaggregate (depending on kind of measure)
• . Type of house, year of construction and
  heating energy (Cmch)
• . Climatic degree-days (c1)
• . House size (c2)

8
Bottom-up methodology (2)

• Definition of a reference consumption, issued
  from statistical surveys, applied to the typology
  
• Average heating consumption Cmch (kWh/year)

9
Bottom-up methodology (3)

• Climatic correction coefficient c1

10
Bottom-up methodology (4)

• Cref Cmch c1 c2
• (kWh/year)

11
Bottom-up methodology (5)

• Definition of a reference situation and
  calculation of part of energy savings in ??
• energy savings are calculated by difference
  between real efficiency of the new boiler
  (measure) and the average efficiency of total
  boilers market (sales M)
• ?? ?c - (Ms ?s Mlt ?lt Mc ?c/ S M
  (sltc)

12
Bottom-up methodology (6)

• ES energy savings
• ES Cref ?? (kWh/year)
• ES Cmch c1 c2 ??

13
Bottom-up methodology (7)

• White certificate value
• ES ( kWh/year)
• Life time of the measure e.g. LT 15 y.
• Discount factor f 0,647 for LT 15 y. and
  6 rate
• WCvalue ES LT f (kWh)

14
Standard elementary measures

• For building sector
• Roof insulation, wall insulation, efficient
  glazing, ground insulation
• Low temperature boiler, condensing boiler, heat
  pump, temperature controls, thermostatic valves
• CFLs, A refrigerator, A washing machine, public
  lighting

15
Standard elementary measures

• For industry
• High efficiency motor, boiler
• Heat recuperation on boiler smokes and compress
  air system
• Electronic speed variation motor,
• Efficient lighting system,
• Efficient cooling and freezing system

16
Standard elementary measures

• For transport
• Combined transport container
• Bus driver training
• Clean vehicle
• Green puncture
• Recuperation on brake energy

17
Standard elementary measures

• Energy efficiency services and performance
  contracting (EPC)
• Steam, heating, cooling, electricity systems and
  equipment for industry
• Steam, heating, cooling, electricity systems and
  equipment for buildings

18
Expected Schedule

• March 2005 Law approval
• Summer 2005 Application decrees approval
• End 2005 Standard elementary measures saving
  values publication
• January 2006 Launching WC scheme
