The Latest: The European Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) has been published, and willrequire some data centre owners and operators to start reporting their energyperformances. While relevant stakeholders active in the bloc have been bracing for the EED,our view is that the regulation may ...
The EU energy efficiency directive (EED) includes provisions to stimulate increased energy efficiency in companies. Mandatory provisions were first introduced in 2012 and recast in 2023. Policy learning has been suggested as an important route to policy change. This paper analyses how and why policy...
Another important goal that the EU has considered regarding climate change is to increase energy efficiency by 20%, which also means reducing energy consumption by 20%. In this context, the Energy Efficiency Directive No. 2012/27/EU was adopted and came into force in 2012. The target includes...

End-use efficiency, demand response and coupling of different energy vectors are important aspects of future renewable energy systems. Growth in the number
Revision of the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) The original EED promotes energy efficiency across the EU, by removing barriers and overcoming market failures that impede efficiency in energy supply and use in different sectors. The revised proposal sets a more ambitious binding annual target ...
This paper provides an overview of the Directive 2002/91/EC of the European Parliament and Council on Energy Efficiency of Buildings and the activities of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) Buildings Platform. The EPBD Buildings Platform is a European Commission initiative in the ...
Europe is determined to involve flexibility from the demand side (including PtH) to reach its climate and energy targets. In particular, the Energy Efficiency Directive [21] explicitly urges EU national regulatory authorities to encourage demand-side resources to participate alongside supply in wholesale...
Recently, the commission even increased the energy efficiency target for 2030 to 32.5% within the new Energy Efficiency Directive. As part of the European Green Deal, the proposed targets towards a climate-neutral EU are even more ambitious. Similarly, Switzerland set high targets such as a ...
Renewable energyREE_TROFIT (www.reetrofit.eu) project (founded by the EU Commission in the Intelligent Energy Europe (IEE) program) aims to contribute to solve the shortage of local qualified and accredited retrofitting experts, as foreseen in the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) ...
