Cost-effectiveness of energy efficiency programs -evaluating the impacts of a regional program in France
Résumé
This paper presents the evaluation of a regional energy efficiency program implemented in two "départements" of France. EDF provides refurbishment advices and financial incentives to end-users in the residential sector as well as specific training courses and certification to local installation contractors and building firms. Refurbishment actions analysed in this paper are efficient space heating equipment (condensing boilers, heat pumps and wood stoves or boilers), solar domestic water heating and the installation of new windows. A billing analysis based on a survey of program participants' energy consumption is used to calculate the energy savings attributed to the program. In order to receive an economic feedback of this demonstration program, the evaluation of both saved energy and program costs is of importance. The detailed knowledge of the program's cost effectiveness is essential for EDF to achieve the saving obligations imposed by the French White Certificate scheme at the lowest cost. Results of this evaluation can support the development and implementation of further energy efficiency programs with similar characteristics in other regions of France. The cost-effectiveness is determined from the perspective of the program participant and society as well as the energy company in charge of the program. Results are expressed in levelized costs of conserved energy in Euro/kWh, which allow a direct comparison with the avoidable costs of the energy supply system.
