Energy Efficiency - Monitoring

Realized Energy Savings 1995-2004

When calculating savings according to the Protocol a distinction is made between energy consumption for:

final consumption in end use sectors and refineries,
conversion in end use sectors, among which cogeneration production,
conversion in electricity supply

Savings 1995-2004 according to Protocol Energy Saving

[%/year]	Natio- nal	Indus- try	Serv- ices	House- holds	Agri- & Horticul,	Trans- port	Refin- ery
Final consumption	0,8	1,1	0,0	1,2	1,2	0,3	0,7
Conversion	0,1	0,1	0,2	0,0	0,3	0,0	0,1
Total end users	0,9	1,1	0,2	1,2	1,5	0,3	0,8
Supply	0,1
National	1,0

The savings on final consumption in different sectors result in national savings of 0.8% annually. If savings from cogeneration are included, the savings amount to 0.9%. The savings in electricity supply add 0.1%-point to the total national savings of 1.0% annually. It must be noted that it was impossible to establish a final saving figure for Services due to unreliable consumption data and unavailability of variables to determine the reference consumption. In this case the final saving was set at nil. The uncertainty in the national savings figure amounts to 0.3 %-point. With a certainty of 95% it can be said that national savings lie between 0.7% and 1.3%. The figures on final consumption for the separate sectors have a larger uncertainty range. The figures for conversion, however, are relatively firm.

The Table illustrates the recent trends in national savings. From these data it can be concluded that the level of savings is decreasing gradually, both in final consumption and in cogeneration and power plants. This trend is visible in various sectors and is also supported by additional analyses.

Trend in national savings as of 1995 (average % per year)

[average %/year]	1995 2000	1995 2001	1995 2002	1995 2003	1995 2004
