1.1.5.1.1 Low industrial energy efficiency Industry represents one of the most important sectors of the Slovak economy in which energy intensity has been reduced. This was achieved in particular due to the deployment of new innovative technologies and an increasing share of higher value-added industries. Mandatory use of the system of energy audit schemes and the application of low cost measures identified in these audits also contributed significantly to the reduction of energy consumption in industry. Despite the above activities, the share of industry (approximately 40 %) in the final energy consumption in the SR remains relatively high compared to the EU- 27 average (roughly 26 %). Even though the SR fulfilled, based on the common EU indicators, the planned target of energy savings for 2008 – 2010 as outlined in the national Action Plan, specific projects aimed at increasing energy efficiency in industry with total savings standing at some 650 TJ and investment intensity at some EUR 26.4 million, i.e., approximately 55 % of planned savings in industry, have been identified within the evaluation of the Energy Efficiency Action Plan of the SR for 2008 – 2010 under two separate financial mechanisms. The Energy Efficiency Action Plan of the SR for 2011 – 2013 envisages energy savings in industry at 2,490 TJ, which is roughly double the amount of energy savings required under the first action plan. In the draft Energy Efficiency Action Plan of the SR for 2014 – 2016, the annual energy savings in industry are proposed 168 Source: Eurostat: ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇/nui/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇ 169 Source Eurostat: ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇/nui/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇;jsessionid=9ea7d07d30e2b8d0224bd2e64ccebcb0ac4fcdfe605b.e34MbxeSaxa Sc40LbNiMbxeNbh8Se0 170 In accordance with the objectives specified in the SET plan No. KOM(2007) 723 final at the level of the second Energy Efficiency Action Plan, i.e., an annual reduction of the final consumption of energy in industry at roughly 2,000 TJ (1.5 % of the average final energy consumption in industry between 2010 and 2012).
1.1.5.1.2 Low energy efficiency in the agriculture sector Under the Energy Efficiency Action Plan for 2011 – 2013, the share of agriculture in Slovakia’s final energy consumption during the period between 2001 and 2009 was the lowest, but also the most stable. According to the sectorial indicator report on th...
