    Abstract

    Energy savings obligations (ESO) oblige energy suppliers to implement energy saving measures. Using Austrian energy and climate policy and EU legislation as a basis, the dissertation analyses whether ESO should complement the range of policy instruments in force. Methods applied are literature research and expert interviews. Austrian compliance with EU energy and climate legislation (20-20-20 targets) was the basis for the recommendations deduced: A national ESO scheme should focus on small customers and the residential building sector. Specified by the source of energy delivered, suppliers of electricity, gas, heating oil, and district heating are to be obliged. In order to reduce economic uncertainty, the scheme is recommended to run until 2030. As distributional effects are expected, governmental subsidies for the most typical savings measures should be provided to minder them.
