The Commission proposal on the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (‘EPBD’)
Thibault Roy, Policy Officer, Buildings and Products Unit
The speaker will provide an overview of key measures in the freshly adopted Commission recast proposal: minimum energy performance standards, energy performance certificates, zero-emission buildings, but also provisions on financing and access to data, which may be particularly relevant for the financial sector and mortgages industry specifically.
14h30 – Positive Money Europe
Unlocking the Renovation Wave: The case for ECB green discount rate
Uuriintuya Batsaikhan, Economist
The European Central Bank identified a loan financing gap of €214 billion p.a. for greening buildings (ECB, 2021). Banks have a unique and crucial role to play as they can mainstream renovation affordability and boost the incentives of customers to take out energy efficient renovation loans. Positive Money Europe proposed ways to incentivize the banking sector to issue more renovation loans, namely by introducing a green discount interest rate on ECB’s TLTROs operations. A deeply negative interest rate granted to banks when borrowing from the ECB on their portfolio of renovation loans would translate into a generous subsidy, part of which could be used to cover administrative costs and would allow banks to extend a lower interest rate to consumers.
15h00 – E.ON
