DIN EN 17463:2021-12 (ValERI) evaluation for companies

DEKRA Audits Energy Investment

Nov 10, 2023

DEKRA experts now evaluate companies’ energy-relevant investments in accordance with the new ValERI standard. For the first time, DIN EN 17463:2021-12 “Valuation of energy related investments (ValERI)” makes the calculation of energy-relevant investment measures comparable and documents the economic benefits in accordance with statutory requirements. The new DEKRA audit is of interest to all companies with annual consumption in excess of 1 GWh so that they can access government grants and comply with legal obligations.

When evaluating energy-relevant investments, companies previously faced problems with the inaccuracy of conventional methods, especially when it came to taking price fluctuations into account. The new ValERI audit offers many advantages: It increases the comparability of measures, considers opportunities and risks, evaluates scenarios, and delivers clear statements as to whether an investment can be classified as economical in accordance with statutory requirements.
Thanks to its many years of experience as an accredited certification body for energy management systems in accordance with ISO 50001, DEKRA has the necessary expertise to evaluate the energy efficiency measures taken by companies in various industries and of different sizes. The trained auditors are familiar with the specific requirements of DIN EN 17463 (ValERI) and assess action plans for their conformity with the following statutory requirements in Germany:
  • Energy Financing Act (EnFG) Ordinance on Securing the Energy Supply Through Measures Effective in the Medium Term (EnSimiMaV)
  • Energy Efficiency Act (EnEfG)
  • Carbon Leakage Ordinance (BECV) (pending)
Many companies are required to perform an evaluation in accordance with DIN EN 17463 (ValERI). For example, the standard is relevant for companies which aim to make an application for a cap on levies in accordance with Section 30 EnFG or which are required to publish their waste heat action plans in accordance with EnEfG. This also applies to companies which submit applications for the partial reimbursement of the CO2 levy (BECV). A further obligation concerns companies with an annual energy consumption of more than 10 GWh in the context of EnSimiMaV, part of the German Energy Services Act (EDL-G).
Evaluating the measures in accordance with DIN EN 17463 is worthwhile, not only for regulatory reasons but also in economic terms.
