The EPS is an index of environmental policy instruments primarily related to climate and air pollution. Amongst other things, it covers emission limits and emissions trading. Such policy instruments can create more demand for energy efficiency. Feed-in tariffs are also included in the EPS. If they increase the price of electricity this can also lead to higher demand for energy efficiency measures.
