ITRE wants to increase efficiency target to 14.5 percent

Regarding the energy-saving target, the EU Parliament’s Industry Committee wants to go even further than the Commission’s proposals from REPowerEU. Final energy consumption is to be limited to 740 million tons of oil equivalent by 2030 and primary energy consumption to 960 Mtoe. This is stated in a compromise paper on the reform of the Energy Efficiency Directive published by „Contexte“ and agreed upon by EPP, Renew, S&D as well as Greens. According to Europe.Table’s calculations, the targets correspond to an efficiency target of 14.5 percent compared to a 2020 reference scenario. On July 13, the ITRE is scheduled to vote on the position.
