Energy Cities, the European Association of local authorities inventing their energy future, welcomes and recognises the priority given by the European Commission, the European Council and the European Parliament to saving energy and using energy more efficiently.

However, it is clear to Energy Cities that this Directive proposal doesn’t meet the ambitions set out in Europe’s 2020 Strategy and will not allow for the EU to fulfill its energy efficiency objectives for 2020 nor for 2050 !
