Efficient Buildings Europe, together with 20 other leading European industry associations, welcomes the High-Level Dialogue on Energy Efficiency hosted by Commissioner Jørgensen on 20 May.

Our sector stands ready to invest and drive innovation to maintain Europe’s global leadership. With the right support and a stable policy framework, we can help Europe meet its goals on competitiveness, affordability, and energy security.

In our joint industry statement, we outline 5 key policy actions to unlock the full potential of energy efficiency:
🔹 Delivering a stable, long-term policy framework
🔹 Easier access to EU funding & private finance
🔹 Bridging the skills gap & growing the workforce
🔹 Accelerating electrification, efficiency & demand response
🔹 Supporting the manufacturing of energy efficiency tech

We call on Commissioner Jørgensen to advance these actions and ensure ongoing, structured engagement with industry, civil society, energy communities, national authorities, and financiers.

We are pleased to announce that Efficient Buildings Europe is a partner of the 2025 Euroheat and Power Congress (03-05 June, Prague)

District heating and cooling networks are one of Europe’s top choices to phase-out fossil fuels in buildings, putting the EU well on track to achieve its climate and energy independence goals. In recent years, unprecedented momentum has built up to support the deployment of this essential energy infrastructure in Europe.

Providing 20% of the EU heat demand with district heating and cooling would save 24 billion cubic meters of gas by 2030, representing 32% of the EU’s Russian gas imports in 2022. To achieve this, major investments are needed to build new district heating and cooling systems, gradually introduce clean, renewable heat sources and modernise Europe’s impressive district heating and cooling network infrastructure.

It’s no small challenge, but it is above all a huge opportunity for the district heating and cooling industry to expand its markets, to innovate, and to drive the decarbonisation of Europe’s largest energy consuming sector. Time to meet, do business and scale up the heat transition!

The 42nd edition of the Euroheat & Power Congress aims to provide our business and local communities with all the tools needed to make this happen.

About the Congress:

• The Euroheat & Power Congress is Euroheat & Power flagship business event. It offers exclusive, high-level perspectives on legislation, business models, technology and market developments shaping the district heating and cooling industry. It brings together over 450 business executives, more than 30 exhibitors, 60+ speakers and local authority representatives from all over Europe.
• A not-to-be-missed event for companies, start-ups, consultancies and universities active in the heating and cooling industry, and local authorities aiming to accelerate their heat transition!
