Energy Efficiency Agreements 2017-2025 in Finland
Finland's Energy Efficiency Agreements, initiated in 1997, have proven successful in achieving energy savings targets. The latest agreement period from 2017 to 2025 covers various sectors like industries, municipal, property, and oil-heated real estates. Joining the agreement is voluntary, aiming to fulfill EU obligations on energy efficiency without the need for new legislation. The agreements span multiple industries and offer a flexible withdrawal option without sanctions if criteria are met.

Energy Efficiency Agreements, Finland's first choice in the implementation of the EED Energy Efficiency Agreements represent the primary measure for Finland to fulfil the strict EU obligations on energy efficiency Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) (2012/27/EU) The goal of the Energy Efficiency Agreement results is to cover more than half of the binding national energy savings target set by the EED article 7 for the implementation period 2014 2020. Voluntary agreements are an alternative to new national legislation or other new coercive means. The nationally binding energy efficiency obligations can be implemented in Finland through voluntary measures, only if the agreement scheme is comprehensive and meets the set targets on improvement in energy efficiency.
Energy Efficiency Agreements NATIONAL BENEFITS Increase cost efficiency & and improve operational capabilities in municipalities and companies The primary means in the implementation of the EU Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) Serve also to implement the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EBPD) A central role in Finnish energy policy Help to meet international climate- related obligations Help to achieve the targets set as obligations for greenhouse gas emissions Facilitate the realization of the obligations set for renewable energy Create green growth & markets for clean technology solutions Improve Finland s security of supply and self-sufficiency on energy Exclude the detrimental effects caused by taxation or legislation on the competitive edge of companies An alternative and supplementary aid for new legislation/coercive measures
Energy Efficiency Agreement BENEFITS FOR THE JOINING PARTICIPANT Improving energy efficiency will turn into a useful mode of action Pruning unnecessary energy costs will improve profitability and operating profit Energy subsidies granted by the Government can be utilized for energy efficiency improvements Expedient energy use is responsible energy use The climate load of operations will be reduced The agreement scheme will become a natural part of management systems A more flexible and sensible alternative for new national legislation or other coercive means Builds and improves positive public image
