Data Base on Energy Saving Potentials

This database provides harmonised energy savings potentials for each EU Member State, for Croatia, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein, for industry, transport, households and services.

It also indicates the main drivers used to estimate these potentials and present the trends in some energy efficiency indicators that are associated to the different potentials.

The objective of this data base is to provide the Commission with a tool to assess national EEAPs and to help identifying the sectors where the national savings targets established under the ESP Directive can be met most cost effectively.

The analysis of the potentials relies mainly on the MURE simulation tool (Measures d'Utilisation Rationnelle de l'Énergie), which has a rich description of end-use technologies in order to describe the impact of the penetration of energy efficient technologies at a detailed level.

Three potentials are assessed: low economic potential, high economic potential and a technical potential.
