“…Van den Bergh suggests carrying out systematic "energy/environmental rebound assessments" of important energy conservation projects or strategies, just as any large investment project requires an environmental impact assessment [63]. Integrating rebound effects in energy efficiency evaluations is one solution [64], and integrating them in life cycle assessments is another [65], as has been attempted by Andersen for renewable energy [18]. Finally, efficiency evaluations need to stop focusing on individual products and look at the broader picture, even if the difficulty of finding data makes this challenging.…”

“…The results of the analyses show that through the proposed approach, decisionmaking and evaluation of DPs could be streamlined and simplified by clearly and objectively identifying which proposals need CBA and which objectively fall within the DCs, taking into account spatial characteristics that significantly affect them. This approach is important as policymakers need to minimize spending in evaluation processes (Vine et al, 2013). It is a matter of adopting a multistep, multicriteria approach to benefit assessment (Saarikoski et al, 2016) given the necessity of decision-analytic techniques as support for policymakers (Gamper & Turcanu, 2007).…”

Incentivizing Criteria for Steering the Implementation of Gas Distribution Investment Projects

Natural gas distribution involves delivering gas to end customers via local low-pressure pipelines and is a public service. As part of the procedure for awarding the gas distribution service, contracting authorities define the scope of programmatic guidelines whereas firms participating in the open bidding process propose development plans through which they propose investment projects typically classified into extensions, upgrades, and maintenance development plans. According to the scale and scope of development plans, such investment projects must undergo, or are exempt from, a cost-benefit analysis. The criteria for classifying investment projects are called development conditions. This paper focuses on such criteria, proposing a new methodology aimed at incentivizing investment projects and simplifying the evaluation process. Results confirm that an improvement can be made in making development conditions more adequate to the needs of different territories. Policymakers can benefit from this paper, as investors and contracting authorities require a common methodology at the heart of the analysis of gas distribution network extension.

“…These conferences were first organised with the same name as the US conference (IEPEC, International Energy Program Evaluation Conference) held in the US every two years since 1989. This name was changed for the Berlin conference to reflect the focus on policy evaluation that is more important in the European than in the US perspective, due to the differences in the regulatory context for energy efficiency activities on both sides of the Atlantic (Vine et al, 2013).…”
