欧盟的合同能源管理政策机制

EU’s Policy Mechanisms on Energy Performance Contract

合同能源管理是一种市场化的节能机制。欧盟通过四个方面的政策机制推动区域内的合同能源管理:设立独立的节能管理机构和研究机构;制定节能指令和标准;开展广泛的节能项目和研究课题;提供资金支持。欧盟各成员国的合同能源管理发展分初级市场、中级市场和高级市场等三个阶段,并具有不同的政策特征。

Energy Performance Contract is a market-oriented energy-saving mechanism.European Union has established four sets of incentive systems to implement Energy Performance Contract:setting up independent regulatory agencies and research institutes;initiating EU Directives and technical standards;launching extensive energy-saving items and research projects;funding support.And hence,the EU member states are divided into three different stages according to the development of EPC:beginner markets,intermediate markets,and advanced markets.Each has different policy features.
