In its Plenary vote today on the 2030 Report (Delvaux/Szymanski), the European Parliament put its full weight behind the ITRE-ENVI Report calling for a binding 40% Energy Efficiency Target. EuroACE calls on the Commission and Member States to place Energy Efficiency and Buildings at the heart of the 2030 Climate and Energy Debate.
This vote is a clear signal demonstrating the political support for a new commitment on energy efficiency. It provides additional encouragement to the Commission to step up its ambition in defining a clear path for energy efficiency towards 2030, in the context of next summer’s review of the EU’s energy efficiency efforts.
