Electricity End-Use in Buildings: a Survey of New Member States and Candidate Countries

The paper presents the preliminary results of the first survey of electricity consumption and saving potential in buildings in the NMS and the CC. The paper provides the first results of JRC project on electricity end-use efficiency in buildings in NMS, CC and WB comprising an analysis of data on the installed end-use technologies (penetration rate, usage pattern, specific energy consumption, etc.), an evaluation of the corresponding electricity use and an estimate of the electricity savings potential. The key barriers and incentives to end-use electricity efficiency in buildings will be presented, together with an inventory of current policies. Based on the preliminary results of the study, the paper will present a first set policy recommensations on how to unlock the electricity saving potential in the buildings sector of NMS and CC.
