ENSMOV · Enhancing the Implementation and Monitoring and Verification practices of Energy Saving Policies under Article 7 of the EED

ENSMOV will support public authorities and key stakeholders in 14 Member States represented by its consortium (NL, BE, IT, FR, GR, AT, DE, PL, RO, UK, HR, BG, HU, LT) in implementing the Article 7 EED requirements. More specifically it will assist them to monitor, improve and complement the design and implementation of their energy efficiency policies by developing resources on practical issues they face. As the implementation of the Article 7 EED has shown, public authorities have limited time and resources to share experiences at the EU level and, as previous projects (EC IEE ENSPOL, EC H2020 MULTEE, PUBLENEF, EPATEE) demonstrated, the opportunity to share experiences is very welcome by public authorities. To find implementation challenges and solutions for energy efficiency obligations (EEOs) and alternative measures and monitoring and verification (MRV) schemes, ENSMOV has designed an experience sharing programme with a structured set of national, regional and EU workshops to address Article 7 EED requirements. These exchanges are underpinned by technical support to ensure that experience sharing results in positive impacts and actual improvements of policy implementation and monitoring. An important tool for active engagement of public authorities will be the Knowledge Transfer Platform, designed to enable discussion on Article 7 EED implementation issues (updated ENSPOL platform www.article7eed.eu). This programme will cover up to 10 crucial MRV and policy implementation topics and is expected to result in improved capacity of 150 unique participants (at least 45 public officers), at least 30 policies influenced through the action, 14 MS with improved implementation of Article 7 and improved and consistent MRV systems. These will all lead to a smoother transition in the new Article 7 EED era.
