Coalition priorities for the next EU institutions: Energy Savings, the foundation of a clean, affordable and secure EU.
The last years have shown that to mitigate climate change, improve EU energy independence and make the transition more socially inclusive and affordable for citizens, businesses and cooperatives, saving energy must be accelerated and prioritised. The new EU institutions must pursue this path and set energy savings as the foundation of a renewables-based, affordable, secure and competitive energy system that is fit for future challenges.
The role of energy savings as a crucial enabler to decarbonise our energy consumption and achieving climate neutrality must be unleashed as soon as possible, in coherence with the Energy Efficiency First principle. In this context, this paper presents the Coalition’s five priorities that deserve the greatest attention of the next EU institutions.
