ENERGY EFFICIENCY AGREEMENT PERIOD 2017–2025
1ST TERM 2017–2020 (4 YEARS)
2ND TERM 2021-2025 (5 YEARS)
Implementation period 2014−2020 of
the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED)

As the main rule, joining the agreement applies to the energy use of the entire
company/association

Joining the agreement spans the entire agreement period 2017–2025

If joining takes place before the end of 2018, withdrawal from the agreement is possible at the end of
2020, without possible sanctions relating to energy subsidies
Energy Efficiency Agreements, Finland's first choice
in the implementation of the EED
 Energy Efficiency Agreements represent the primary measure for Finland to
fulfil the strict EU obligations on energy efficiency

Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) (2012/27/EU)

The goal of the Energy Efficiency Agreement results is to cover more than half of the
binding national energy savings target set by the EED article 7 for the implementation
period 2014−2020.
 Voluntary agreements are an alternative to new national legislation or other
new coercive means.
 The nationally binding energy efficiency obligations can be implemented in
Finland through voluntary measures, only if the agreement scheme is
comprehensive and meets the set targets on improvement in energy efficiency.
