Welcome!
White Certificates Seminar: Details
The International Energy Program Evaluation Conference (IEPEC) is an annual professional conference for energy program implementers, evaluators of those programs, local, state, national and international representatives, and academic researchers actively working in the field of evaluation. The purpose of the conference is to provide a forum for the presentation, critique and discussion of objective evaluations of energy programs.
We periodically e-mail conference updates (such as when the location and date is selected, call for papers is issued, etc.) to professionals in the energy industry. If you currently don’t receive our e-mailings, but would like to, click here to be added to the IEPEC mailing list.
White Certificates & Supplier’s Obligations
Monday June 11, 2012
Your Session Leaders:
-
Dr. Paolo Bertoldi, Principle Adminstrator of the European Directorate General Joint Research Centre
-
Dr. Marcella Pavan, Italian Regulatory Authority for Electricity and Gas (AEEG). Head of Energy Efficiency and Demand Response
Suppliers’ obligations have been implemented with success by some European countries. In June 2011 a new proposal for a Directive on energy efficiency was published. This draft legislative proposal mandates all Member States to establish their own energy savings obligation schemes whereby energy suppliers will be obliged to deliver yearly savings of 1.5% through implementing energy efficiency measures among final customers.

- Integrating public and private interests into a cohesive force
- Moving forward with meeting energy targets with shrinking budgets
Opening Keynote Speaker: Giovanni De Santi, The European Commission Research Center Director, Institute for Energy and Transport
Mr De Santi has been employed at the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission, where he developed his professional expertise by managing projects and groups of experts in the fields of energy, transport, mechanical/nuclear engineering, environmental science, and management. In 2007 he was nominated as Director of the then Institute for Energy of the JRC based both in Petten (The Netherlands) and Ispra (Italy). In particular the Institute focuses its main activities on nuclear reactor safety, renewable (solar) energy, hydrogen and fuel cells, energy system modelling and energy security.
Two Special Panel Discussions:
Energy Efficiency as a Risk Management Tool in Dealing with Disasters or Sudden Supply-Side Policy Changes
Decarbonzation and Evaluation
