10 years and going strong – 2021 in review

15 December 2021 | Activity Reports, Latest Activities

2021 has been another intense year for energy efficiency and Green Deal related issues. It was also a special one for the European Alliance to Save Energy (EU-ASE) as we celebrated our 10th anniversary.

Throughout the year, the Alliance worked hard to implement an ambitious workplan which involved all members and was structured around four objectives:
• Energy efficiency boosted by policy and regulatory framework
• Unleashing the energy savings potential of water efficiency in EU legislation
• Financing energy efficiency
• Smart, digital and effective communication to achieve advocacy objectives

In a context still marked by the Covid-19 pandemic, EU-ASE was able to effectively support the promotion of energy efficiency to achieve sustainable recovery and meet the EU’s energy and climate goals.

Letter in Financial Times: Renovating buildings will help reduce energy bills

10 November 2021 | Latest Activities, Opinions

On 9 November the Financial Times published in its print edition a letter by the president of the European Alliance to Save Energy, Monica Frassoni.

Stepping up building energy renovations offers a solution to the issue of soaring energy bills, yet this is overlooked by decision makers, the letter says.

Today, which energy efficient technologies, it is possible to reduce buildings’ energy needs for heating and cooling by 60%. Still the average renovation rate of the EU’s building stock remains under 1% per year.

With over 34m people living in energy poverty, we are playing with fire, the letter continues. Energy efficiency is a rational, cost-effective and systemic solution for the energy price surge.

The letter can also be found on the FT website.
