• We believe in and work with progressive
  industries
• We need strong legislation, ambitious targets,
  and appropriate support for sustainable energy
• We need to raise consumer awareness and to give
  them the means to act

Eugene Standard

Eugene Standard

• Member States promote RES through support schemes
• Consumers can promote RES through voluntary
  schemes
• Voluntary schemes should provide credible green
  power
• eligibility the green power sources need to be
  clean (e.g. no unsustainable biomass)
• additionality voluntary schemes shouldnt simply
  help suppliers meeting their legal obligations
  (will I pay a premium to increase the green
  power share in the market or to enrich my
  supplier?)
• Eugene accredits labels (ok-Power, naturemade
  Star) that guarantee eligibility and
  additionality of the green power products

16
Eugene Standard

• Where do we stand?
• Accredited labels Ok-Power in Germany
  naturemade Star in Switzerland
• Very soon in France next year in Spain, Italy,
  maybe Belgium
• Discussions with many other national labels
  (Nordic countries, NL)
• Project to improve biomass hydro criteria
  integrate demand-side energy conservation in the
  scheme
• 2004 over 830 GWh of Eugene accredited power
  sold
• Case study Darmstadt City Council
• 80 of all power in public buildings, pools,
  schools etc. is green
• in total 4.5 million kWh from Eugene-accredited
  green power
• Many other measures next step 100 green power
