Our consultancy services in the context of the Energy Efficiency Obligation Schemes in Europe (EEOS) provide a comprehensive approach for those who want to implement energy efficiency projects. The scheme is designed to enable businesses and residential users to get financial support for their investments to improve energy efficiency. By validating the project and respecting the principles of additionality and materiality, the energy savings achieved can be sold.
The reason for the introduction of the scheme is Hungary’s target of keeping final energy consumption below the 2005 level of 785 PJ by 2030. This requires energy savings of 0.8% per year and new savings of 7 PJ per year.
The obligation scheme imposes specific energy saving obligations on electricity and natural gas traders and on those selling fuel for transport . The way the obligation is fulfilled can be through own investment or by accounting for energy savings achieved through energy efficiency measures and investments in other sectors and by other actors.
Our end-to-end service consists of four steps:
Preparation of an EEOS pre-audit: a preliminary assessment of the potential energy savings of the project and its eligibility for EEOS.
Preparing an EEOS post-audit and certificate: determining the actual energy savings that can be achieved after the investment or action has been implemented.
Energy savings verification: formal recognition and documentation of the savings achieved.
Selling and accounting for certified energy savings: selling certified savings and providing a financial return to our customers.
To ensure the successful implementation of the scheme, the verification of energy savings can only be carried out by qualified auditing organisations that meet the necessary professional standards and testing requirements. Our service is designed to assist in this complex process, from the initial project phase, through verification, to the financial sale of energy savings, ensuring maximum benefit for our clients.
