DEMAND MANAGEMENT AND RENEWABLE ENERGIES (1) The Green Book on Security of Energy Supply considers: 1°The supply from renewables and the demand management (energy efficiency) are essential components for this security 2°Only the integrated use of all political and market instruments can help to increase this security Directorate General for Energy and Transport n° 3

DEMAND MANAGEMENT AND RENEWABLE ENERGIES (2) How to succeed with the difficult actions in buildings and transport? : - Adequate integration supply/demand: role of RES and EE - Adequate integration of instruments according to each specific circumstance : o Legislation o Market mechanisms: - Technological innovation - Non-technological instruments: » » Innovative financial schemes Training, behaviour… Standards, monitoring and targetting… Other General Directorate for Energy and Transport n° 4
