The 2015 Energy Productivity and Economic Prosperity Index
In this policy brief we will show that Europe could double its energy productivity performance on the basis of existing technologies.
High Energy – Productivity Growth Scenario would not only bring no appreciable reduction in lifestyle and prosperity; it would actually add to lifestyle quality by freeing up more money for spending on health, recreation and education. The effect would be felt at the national level – where countries would have more money to invest on desirable social goods. But it would also create a palpable difference at the household level.
The average European consumer would pay around €82,45 per month in energy costs, down from the average €123,27 today.
