EU-ASE has sent an open letter urging EU member states to accelerate implementation of the Energy Efficiency Directive. The energy efficiency sector already employs 1.2 million people in Europe and effective, timely transposition of the EED will unlock even more investment, innovation and domestic manufacturing.
Implementing energy efficiency measures, among other things:
• Lowers bills for citizens and businesses, with the EU already cutting energy use by 12% while growing its economy by 25%.
• Reduces system costs, alleviating pressure on grids and making electrification more affordable.
• Leads to energy security, with every 1% efficiency improvement cutting gas imports by 2.6%.
• Drives progress toward climate neutrality
We stand ready to support member states with any technical challenges in delivering the directive.
