The European Alliance to Save Energy, along with other organisations, will hold a discussion on “Energy Performance Contracts (EPCs) to foster energy efficiency in the public sector. How to turn difficulties into success?” next June 7 within the context of the European Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW). The purpose of the session is to address the current challenges and opportunities for energy efficiency improvements in the public sector and to focus on Energy Performance Contracts (EPCs) as one of the most cost-effective solutions available.
The high-level panel of speakers will have names like Robert Pernetta, Financial Instrument Advisor at the European Investment Bank, or Theresa Griffin, S&D MEP at the European Parliament. Furthermore, our President Monica Frassoni, who will be moderating the discussion, has been appointed as EUSEW’s Ambassador by Commissioner Miguel Arias Cañete.
EUSEW is a month-long series of activities to build a secure energy future for Europe. It brings together public authorities, private companies, NGOs and consumers to promote initiatives to save energy and move towards renewables for clean, secure and efficient power.

In a fast-changing political and economic environment, 2025 was a year of continued efforts to strengthen security, stability, and competitiveness for European businesses.
Throughout the year, our work demonstrated that energy efficiency is not only essential to achieving climate goals, but also a key driver of innovation, energy independence and sustainable long-term growth across Europe.
Strong engagement with policymakers, combined with the successful organisation of the 4th European Energy Efficiency Day, highlighted the importance of collaboration and dialogue in advancing shared objectives. Partnerships across sectors and institutions remained central to delivering impact and shaping effective energy policies.
Looking ahead to 2026, we will intensify our efforts to secure the regulatory certainty that can accelerate the energy transition, while providing businesses with the investment confidence they need and strengthening Europe’s competitiveness.
