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.
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.
