The present document is the contribution of a broad industrial ecosystem to the European Commission’s AccelerateEU task to develop a catalogue of replicable measures to produce energy savings and system efficiency gains for the EU Energy Ministers that will gather in Cyprus on 13 May 2026.

The document builds on and updates a European Alliance to Save Energy’s 2022 catalogue of technology and solutions, originally developed in response to the energy crisis following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. While the context has evolved, the need for coordinated action remains.

This updated catalogue presents cross-sectoral, readily deployable energy efficiency technologies and solutions that can strengthen energy security, alongside industry commitment to support the development of concrete action plans for their large-scale implementation.

Water is a vital resource for Europe’s food, energy, and economic security. With increasing pressures from climate change, population growth, and industrial demands, water resources are under significant strain.

In her political guidelines and letters of mandate for the relevant designated Commissioners, the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen emphasized the need for a European Water Resilience Strategy to address these challenges. This strategy is crucial for managing water resources sustainably, addressing scarcity, and enhancing Europe’s competitive edge through a circular
economy approach.

In our paper, we present eleven key recommendations for this Strategy to ensure a comprehensive and forward looking framework for water management.

As Europe seeks to enhance its competitiveness and resilience while addressing climate and social goals, a transformative approach to energy has become more urgent than ever.

This white paper introduces Energy System Efficiency (ESE) as a critical pillar for ensuring energy security, affordability, and decarbonisation. A holistic focus on ESE will allow Europe to boost its industrial competitiveness, strengthen energy security, and lead the global effort against climate change.

Achieving Europe’s energy transition will require cooperation across sectors. Policymakers, industries, and civil society must collaborate to align legislation, investment strategies, technologies, infrastructure, and practices that will drive the future energy system. By adopting and implementing Energy System Efficiency, Europe can secure a sustainable, competitive, and carbon-neutral future by 2050, ensuring stronger energy security and a higher quality of life for all.
