On 25 March 2020 we held an online workshop to discuss “State aid and energy efficiency“. To do so we involved national experts working in energy efficiency organisations in Czechia, Germany, Romania and Slovakia, as well as EU-level experts dealing with State aid rules.
The goal of the workshop was to exchange on the barriers posed by EU State aid rules to the implementation of national building renovation programmes.

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.
