On 20 May, the High-Level Stakeholders’ Dialogue brought together policymakers and industry leaders to reaffirm energy efficiency as a key pillar of Europe’s path to energy security, affordability and industrial competitiveness.
Commissioner Jørgensen highlighted the urgency of reducing energy dependency and stressed that energy efficiency delivers fast with short payback. Improving efficiency is not just about climate, it is about innovation, competitiveness and security.
Special thanks to our members Adèle Naudy-Chambaud from Schneider Electric and Mark Leverton from Knauf Insulation for their contributions, emphasizing the need for a system-wide approach, a clear and stable policy and regulatory framework, increased digitalization and closing funding gaps to ensure continuous improvements in a long term perspective.
Energy efficiency must be embedded in every policy, investment, and industrial strategy moving forward. We remain committed to working with the European Commission and all stakeholders, including industry, financing institutions and civil society organizations, to structure and continue this important dialogue in the next months.
