What will it take for energy providers to support the rollout of energy efficiency measures?
SENSEI’s deliverable, “The Boundary Cases for the P4P Rates”, identifies the market value of energy savings from the energy providers’ perspective.
The transition of the electricity system towards complete decarbonisation requires the full integration of energy efficiency measures (EEM) to reduce CO2 emissions on a long-term basis while avoiding the need for costly capacity and network upgrades.
Successful integration of the EEM is reliant upon developing a detailed knowledge of the various measures. Therefore, considering the value that the implemented measures bring to the overall energy system is a crucial factor when dealing with a pay-for-performance (P4P) scheme.
This report provides a concrete classification and evaluation of the various EEMs which provides the foundations for proposing a definition of a P4P rate that is transparent and a non-performance-based incentive that can be offered to energy providers.

This newly-released report provides definition, general design and examines the rationale for P4P energy efficiency programmes as well as an in-depth review of 11 case studies from North America and EU (Germany). This, in turn, has enabled to provide a set of key implications and recommendations for a successful replication of the P4P approach in the EU, which could speed up the rate of energy efficiency improvement in the EU’s buildings while reducing the costs of the energy transition.

Energy Efficiency’s multiple benefits are often undervalued. This report examines the 3 main mechanisms for rewarding EE as an energy system resource in the US and Europe and provides recommendations to realise those rewards.
