EED recast: Saving energy, reducing bills, lowering emissions
The recast of the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) is the opportunity to put in place a robust enabling regulatory framework to speed the delivery of energy savings and unlock their multiple benefits by giving predictability to investors and addressing the non-market barriers to energy efficiency.
The Commission’s proposal to recast the EED is a solid basis to speed up the uptake of energy savings in Europe. However, more is technically achievable, economically possible, and desirable for the whole European society. The EED must enable a paradigm shift on how the EU consumes energy in line with its climate neutrality objective. This paper aims at providing the Coalition for Energy Savings’ input on how to make this possible.
