18. Article 4 addresses end-use efficiency in the public sector.
Article 4.11It requires each government to make sure that the public sector:
 is fulfilling its exemplary role under this directive.
 to be effective in telling consumers about the exemplary role and actions
of the public sector in saving energy.
Article 4.2 MS assures that the public sector implements the efficiency
measures focusing on the most cost effective measures. Such measures
can include legislative measures, voluntary measures and measures
listed in annex B
.

19. Article 4.3
 MS to include guidelines for using energy savings as an assessment
criterion in competitive tendering for public contracts.
 In addition, the Public Sector in Member States must select two
mandatory measures from a list in Annex C, requiring energy-efficient
public procurement, energy audits and energy performance contracting.

20. Article 4.4 MS to Assign the administrative and executive responsibility for
implementing the requirements of this chapter. They may be the same as
those referred to in article 2.2. Designated agencies - which may be those

21. Article 5 covers energy distributors, distribution system operators and retail
energy sales companies.
Article 5.1 It requires governments to ensure that such entities:
a. offer aggregated statistical information annually regarding their final
customers, to the agencies designated under Article 4 (or equivalent
organizations). It must be sufficiently detailed to properly design and
implement energy saving programs. It must include current information
on end-user consumption, including, where applicable, load profiles,
customer segmentation and geographical location of customers. This
should respect commercially sensitive information. It may include historic
data.
b. These businesses must not do anything to hinder the development of, or
impede the market for, the delivery of energy efficiency. Governments
must step in to stop any such practices.

22. Article 5.2 Governments will ensure that these businesses do one or more of
the following:
 Offer competitively priced energy services to customers
 Offer their customers competitively priced energy audits, and/or energy
efficiency improvements
 Make finance, equivalent to delivering the above, available to fund energy
audits (see Article 10 related to EE Fund)
Article 5.3 Either additionally or alternatively, governments must:
i. separately set up schemes which deliver the same type of benefits as
above. Details of such schemes must have clear and unambiguous
objectives; they must be made publicly available prior to introduction,
with other stakeholders encouraged to comment.
ii. Governments must ensure that there are sufficient incentives, and a level
competitive playing field, to ensure that any organization can offer and
implement energy services, energy audits and improvement measures.

23. Article 6 deals with the availability of information.
Article 6.1 MS shall ensure that information on energy efficiency mechanisms
and financial &legal frameworks adopted with the aim of reaching the
national indicative saving target is transparent and widely disseminated
to the relevant market actors.
Article 6.2 They also ensure that greater efforts are made to promote end use
efficiency . They shall establish appropriate conditions and incentives for
market operators to provide more information and advise to end users.
Article 6.3 LAS will ensure the widespread dissemination of best energy-
saving practices in Member States as well as working on learning from
similar international experiences.

 With a view to achieve a high level of technical competence, objectivity
and reliability,
governments, where they consider it necessary, to ensure the availability
of appropriate qualifications, accreditation and certification schemes for
the:
 providers of energy services,
 energy audits
 and energy efficiency improvement schemes.

25. Article 8 covers financial instruments for energy savings.
Article 8.1 Governments must make sure no legislation exists that
unnecessarily or disproportionately impedes or restricts the use of
financial instruments for energy savings - unless these are of a clearly

26. Article 9
Article 9.1 requires governments to restructure its electric tariff, in order to

 Article 10 allows governments to create energy efficiency subsidy funds
which are open to any company. If created, these must include promoting
energy auditing, financial instruments for energy savings, and (where
appropriate) improved metering and informative billing. They must
target end-use sectors with higher transaction costs and higher risks.
They can offer loans, grants or financial guarantees, so long as they do
not compete with commercially-financed energy efficiency improvement
measures. It is up to governments to decide which consumers should
benefit.

28. Article 11 concerns energy audits.
 Governments must ensure the availability of efficient, high-quality energy
audit schemes that can be carried out in an independent manner by
ESCOs and Distribution Co. These should identify energy efficiency
improvement measures
