The European Commission has unveiled its Affordable Energy Action Plan today alongside the Clean Industrial Deal – Here are EFIEES’ takes on this action plan:
We are glad to see that the fourth action of this action plan is rightly keeping energy efficiency at the heart of EU decarbonisation and growth strategy. EFIEES stands ready to support the European Energy Efficiency Financing Coalition in its mission to improve access to capital, provide financial incentives to support market actors who provide energy efficiency solutions for enterprises, with the aim of doubling the Energy Services Companies (ESCOs) market.
As highlighted by our Secretary general Valérie Plainemaison, “EFIEES welcomes the Commission’s Affordable Energy Action plan and its will to activate an ambitious program to support EU citizens, businesses and industry, by driving growth and investment while reinforcing decarbonisation efforts.”
We also look forward to the upcoming Heating & Cooling Strategy in 2026 and are happy to see waste heat recovery potential fully recognised in this action plan.
