        Energy Saving Credit Programme

        …for preferential credit. So far, the ESCP has focused on funding energy savings programmes at the municipal level, modernisation of district heating systems and the development of energy service company (ESCO) ficing. The funds are provided by a local bank – winner of an annual tender through which the interest rate of the loan (the lowest offer) is set. Part of the subsidy is a grant provided by the Economic Development Fund of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. Applications are evaluated by the bank and by an Inter-Ministerial Committee which analyses the technical feasibility and the level of energy saving.

        Austrian Energy Efficiency Law

        …is implemented by the Austrian Energy Efficiency Act. Within this act, Austria is increasing its energy efficiency efforts aiming to a final energy consumption of 1050 PJ by 2020. Furthermore, until 2020 cumulative energy savings of 310 PJ have to be achieved. These targets have to be reached by an obligation scheme for energy distributors (with a sales volume of more than 25 GWh to final energy consumers) contributing with energy efficiency measures up to (cumulative) 159 PJ and by so-called strategic measures by public authorities with up to (cumulative) 151 PJ till 2020. Strategic measures include energy taxes…
