Part III U.K. ANALYSIS OF THE ECONOMIC POTENTIAL FOR EFFICIENCY IN HEATING AND COOLING
7. an analysis of the economic potential (5) of different technologies for heating and cooling shall be carried out for the entire national territory by using the cost-benefit analysis referred to in Article 14(3) and shall identify alternative scenarios for more efficient and renewable heating and cooling technologies, distinguishing between energy derived from fossil and renewable sources where applicable. U.K.
The following technologies should be considered:
industrial waste heat and cold;
waste incineration;
high efficiency cogeneration;
renewable energy sources (such as geothermal, solar thermal and biomass) other than those used for high efficiency cogeneration;
heat pumps;
reducing heat and cold losses from existing district networks;
8. this analysis of economic potential shall include the following steps and considerations: U.K.
Considerations:
the cost-benefit analysis for the purposes of Article 14(3) shall include an economic analysis that takes into consideration socioeconomic and environmental factors (6) , and a financial analysis performed to assess projects from the investors' point of view. Both economic and financial analyses shall use the net present value as criterion for the assessment;
the baseline scenario should serve as a reference point and take into account existing policies at the time of compiling this comprehensive assessment (7) , and be linked to data collected under Part I and point 6 of Part II of this Annex;
alternative scenarios to the baseline shall take into account energy efficiency and renewable energy objectives of Regulation (EU) 2018/1999. Each scenario shall present the following elements compared to the baseline scenario:
economic potential of technologies examined using the net present value as criterion;
greenhouse gas emission reductions;
primary energy savings in GWh per year;
impact on the share of renewables in the national energy mix.
Scenarios that are not feasible due to technical reasons, financial reasons or national regulation may be excluded at an early stage of the cost-benefit analysis, if justified based on careful, explicit and well-documented considerations.
The assessment and decision-making should take into account costs and energy savings from the increased flexibility in energy supply and from a more optimal operation of the electricity networks, including avoided costs and savings from reduced infrastructure investment, in the analysed scenarios.
Costs and benefits
The costs and benefits referred to under point 8(a) shall include at least the following benefits and costs:
Benefits:
value of output to the consumer (heating, cooling and electricity);
external benefits such as environmental, greenhouse gas emissions and health and safety benefits, to the extent possible;
labour market effects, energy security and competitiveness, to the extent possible.
Costs:
capital costs of plants and equipment;
capital costs of the associated energy networks;
variable and fixed operating costs;
energy costs;
environmental, health and safety costs, to the extent possible;
labour market costs, energy security and competitiveness, to the extent possible.
Relevant scenarios to the baseline:
All relevant scenarios to the baseline shall be considered, including the role of efficient individual heating and cooling.
the cost-benefit analysis may either cover a project assessment or a group of projects for a broader local, regional or national assessment in order to establish the most cost-effective and beneficial heating or cooling solution against a baseline for a given geographical area for the purpose of planning;
Member States shall designate the competent authorities responsible for carrying out the cost-benefit analyses pursuant to Article 14. They shall provide the detailed methodologies and assumptions in accordance with this Annex and establish and make public the procedures for the economic analysis.
Boundaries and integrated approach:
the geographical boundary shall cover a suitable well-defined geographical area;
the cost-benefit analyses shall take into account all relevant centralised or decentralised supply resources available within the system and geographical boundary, including technologies considered under point 7 of Part III of this Annex, and heating and cooling demand trends and characteristics.
Assumptions:
Member States shall provide assumptions, for the purpose of the cost-benefit analyses, on the prices of major input and output factors and the discount rate;
the discount rate used in the economic analysis to calculate net present value shall be chosen according to European or national guidelines;
Member States shall use national, European or international energy price development forecasts if appropriate in their national and/or regional/local context;
the prices used in the economic analysis shall reflect socio economic costs and benefits. External costs, such as environmental and health effects, should be included to the extent possible, i.e. when a market price exists or when it is already included in European or national regulation.
Sensitivity analysis:
a sensitivity analysis shall be included to assess the costs and benefits of a project or group of projects and be based on variable factors having a significant impact on the outcome of the calculations, such as different energy prices, levels of demand, discount rates and other.
Part IV U.K. POTENTIAL NEW STRATEGIES AND POLICY MEASURES
9. overview of new legislative and non-legislative policy measures (8) to realise the economic potential identified in accordance with points 7 and 8, along with their foreseen: U.K.
greenhouse gas emission reductions;
primary energy savings in GWh per year;
impact on the share of high-efficiency cogeneration;
impact on the share of renewables in the national energy mix and in the heating and cooling sector;
links to national financial programming and cost savings for the public budget and market participants;
estimated public support measures, if any, with their annual budget and identification of the potential aid element.]
[F1The amount of thermal energy needed to satisfy the heating and cooling demand of end-users.]
[F1The most recent data available should be used.]
[F1The most recent data available should be used.]
[F1The identification of ‘ renewable cooling ’ shall, after the methodology for calculating the quantity of renewable energy used for cooling and district cooling is established in accordance with Article 35 of Directive (EU) 2018/2001, be carried out in accordance with that Directive. Until then it shall be carried out according to an appropriate national methodology.]
[F1The analysis of the economic potential should present the volume of energy (in GWh) that can be generated per year by each technology analysed. The limitations and interrelations within the energy system should also be taken into account. The analysis may make use of models based on assumptions representing the operation of common types of technologies or systems.]
[F1Including the assessment referred to in Article 15, paragraph 7 of Directive (EU) 2018/2001.]
[F1The cut-off date for taking into account policies for the baseline scenario is the end of the year preceding to the year by the end of which the comprehensive assessment is due. That is to say, policies enacted within a year prior to the deadline for submission of the comprehensive assessment do not need to be taken into account.]
[F1This overview shall include financing measures and programmes that may be adopted over the period of the comprehensive assessment, not prejudging a separate notification of the public support schemes for a State aid assessment,]
