ANALYSIS OF THE ECONOMIC POTENTIAL FOR EFFICIENCY IN HEATING AND COOLING

7. an analysis of the economic potential 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 23(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.

The following technologies should be considered:

(a) industrial waste heat and cold;

(b) waste incineration;

(c) high efficiency cogeneration;

(d) renewable energy sources (such as geothermal, solar thermal and biomass) other than those used for high efficiency cogeneration;

(e) heat pumps;

(f) reducing heat and cold losses from existing district networks;

8. this analysis of economic potential shall include the following steps and considerations:

(a) Considerations:

(i) the cost-benefit analysis for the purposes of Article 23(3) shall include an economic analysis that takes into consideration socioeconomic and environmental factors, 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;

(ii) the baseline scenario should serve as a reference point and take into account existing policies at the time of compiling this comprehensive assessment, and be linked to data collected under Part I and point 6 of Part II of this Annex;

(iii) 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.

(b) Costs and benefits

The costs and benefits referred to under point 8(a) shall include at least the following benefits and costs:

(i) 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.

(ii) 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.

(c) Relevant scenarios to the baseline:

All relevant scenarios to the baseline shall be considered, including the role of efficient individual heating and cooling.

(i) 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;

(d) Boundaries and integrated approach:

(i) the geographical boundary shall cover a suitable well-defined geographical area;
