EU-ASE at the High-Level Roundtable on the EU ETS Reform

On 12 May in Brussels, Monica Frassoni, President of EU-ASE, took part in the High-Level Stakeholders Roundtable on the EU ETS Reform.

In her contribution, she highlighted the importance of aligning ETS reform with Europe’s broader energy, climate, and industrial strategy, stressing that energy efficiency and policy coherence are essential to a successful transition. She called for stronger control over ETS revenues, a reassessment of free allowances, and clearer energy efficiency criteria in EU funding instruments.

She also underlined that the Energy Efficiency Directive must remain ambitious beyond 2030, and that SMEs need better access to dedicated financing tools to support their role in the transition.

Civil society and industry call for a Future-Proof Post-2030 EU Energy Framework

Today, civil society and industry leaders have joined forces to call on EU leaders to deliver a future-proof post-2030 energy framework.

As Europe faces geopolitical instability, record-high energy prices, and the urgent need to address climate change, immediate and ambitious solutions are required. A strong post-2030 framework, built on renewable energy, energy efficiency, and renewable-based electrification, offers a clear path to phase out fossil fuels and secure Europe’s energy future.

Setting binding targets for renewable energy and energy efficiency will not only reduce costs for citizens and businesses but also strengthen Europe’s security, competitiveness, and affordability.

The signatories urge EU institutions to act swiftly by setting ambitious targets and accelerating the transition to a sustainable energy system.

Technologies and Solutions for Energy Security

The present document is the contribution of a broad industrial ecosystem to the European Commission’s AccelerateEU task to develop a catalogue of replicable measures to produce energy savings and system efficiency gains for the EU Energy Ministers that will gather in Cyprus on 13 May 2026.

The document builds on and updates a European Alliance to Save Energy’s 2022 catalogue of technology and solutions, originally developed in response to the energy crisis following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. While the context has evolved, the need for coordinated action remains.

This updated catalogue presents cross-sectoral, readily deployable energy efficiency technologies and solutions that can strengthen energy security, alongside industry commitment to support the development of concrete action plans for their large-scale implementation.

Energy Efficiency for Energy Security

Today, 34 companies and organisations including large companies, associations, and business networks have joined forces to call on the European Commission to place energy efficiency at the heart of Europe’s response to the ongoing energy crisis.

As the EU faces rising energy prices and geopolitical uncertainty, immediate and scalable solutions are needed. Energy efficiency offers a readily available and cost-effective answer to reduce energy demand and strengthen Europe’s energy independence.

Improving energy efficiency will not only reduce costs for citizens and businesses, but also support electrification, enhance energy security, and strengthen Europe’s resilience.

The signatories call on EU institutions to act swiftly by accelerating the implementation of existing legislation and unlocking investment in energy efficiency solutions.

The technologies exist. The case is clear. Now is the time to act.

EU-ASE Response to the Climate Resilience Framework Public Consultation

The European Alliance to Save Energy welcomes the European Commission’s initiative to develop a Climate Resilience Framework to address the growing impacts of climate change across Europe.

Climate resilience must go hand in hand with energy and water efficiency to deliver a cost-effective and future-proof transition. 

Water and energy efficiency are essential to tackle increasing scarcity, droughts and extreme weather. Reducing resource demand in buildings, industry and water systems strengthens resilience while lowering costs and emissions.

Digitalisation is a key enabler, supporting real-time monitoring, smarter resource management and faster response to climate risks.

Preparing cities and communities must be central to the Framework. Integrated planning, resilient building renovation and smart infrastructure will help urban areas withstand heatwaves, flooding and other climate impacts.
