#EfficiencyFirst
2016 is the implementation year for the Energy Union, and the European Commission has promised to deliver high ambition on energy efficiency.
• How will the EU put energy efficiency first in its climate and energy plans?
• How will the extension of the energy efficiency framework boost energy efficiency markets and investments?
The 2016 Energy Savings Summit is the leading conference dedicated to energy efficiency in Brussels ahead of the adoption of proposals by the European Commission.
Join us on 25 May 2016 for a high level conference followed by a cocktail reception at the Residence Palace in Brussels.
