Policy Brief: A Guide to the 2030 Energy Efficiency Target
With the ongoing negotiations on the recast of the Energy Efficiency Directive, the Coalition for Energy Savings published a technical briefing to provide a short presentation of the functioning of the 2030 EU energy efficiency target. The document aims to explain how the current 2030 energy efficiency target works, what the Commission has proposed in the Energy Efficiency Directive recast, and what are the suggested changes to the target governance and ambition proposed by the Parliament’s Industry, Research & Energy (ITRE) committee draft report and the draft opinion of the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety (ENVI) committee.
