Properties of the instrument Sample Clauses

Properties of the instrument. ‌ 1) As a pre-condition to the entitlement of exemption or discount from existing energy levies, e.g. from the renewable energy surcharge (EEG-Umlage), or a new carbon tax65. 2) As a reference to strengthen and modify the relatively new Energy Efficiency Networks (EENs) initiative, which is currently designed as a purely voluntary agreement, e.g. by adding a tax rebate element to beef up these networks (linking to option 1), or enhancing requirements related to target setting, monitoring, reporting and compliance. The EEN initiative is implemented by the German Energy Agency (xxxx) on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) and in partnership with the German Environmental Ministry (BMU)66. An EEN consists of eight to 15 companies in a region or industry that voluntarily agree to form the network, with each company setting an energy conservation target alongside an overall network efficiency target. The government is providing different support, e.g. in the form of information and instruments for practical implementation. Implementation of a network is subject to annual monitoring. In December 2014, a voluntary agreement was signed by the German government and 18 industry associations to generate 500 EENs until 2020. Despite being a purely voluntary approach, the German government expects EENs to be the highest contributor to energy and CO2 savings towards 2020 among all policy measures that address the industrial sector in the National Action Plan on Energy Efficiency (NAPE), which is a comprehensive strategy launched in December 2014 (Xxxxxxxxx et al., 2015a: 78). In any case, when considering intruding a new CCA-like instrument, an overall assessment of the potential interactions between such an instrument and other existing and planned energy efficiency and climate policy instruments for the industrial sector is needed to avoid potential conflicts; facilitate higher synergy; and streamline administration.
