EFIEES welcomes the draft reports presented by the rapporteurs and the several amendments tabled by the Members of the European Parliament on the Clean Energy Package. EFIEES keeps on supporting the consistent implementation of the ‘Energy Efficiency First’ principle across all the elements of the package as well as the following guiding principles:
- Efforts towards more energy efficiency and more renewable energy should be subject to obligations with the same nature (binding or not, EU or national level)
- More consideration to be paid to energy efficiency services and energy efficient solutions, such as energy performance contracting
- Equal treatment of renewable energy sources, whether produced on-site or supplied through a carrier
- A territorial/district approach, rather than an individual building’s approach, should be introduced
