Reducing energy consumption and waste is of growing importance to the EU. Energy efficiency measures are recognised as a means of not only achieving a sustainable energy supply, cutting greenhouse gas emissions, improving security of supply and reducing import bills, but also of promoting European competitiveness. EU legislation on energy efficiency has evolved significantly over the past 15 years. In 2018, EU leaders set a 32.5% target for reducing EU annual energy consumption by 2030. In March 2023, they agreed on EU primary and final energy consumption reduction targets of 38% and 40.5% respectively by 2030. Energy efficiency is therefore a strategic priority of the Energy Union, which is built on the ‘energy efficiency first’ principle. The future policy framework for the 2030 and post-2030 period is under discussion. Source : © European Union, 2023 - EP Read more
