Deriving from the Energy Efficiency Plan 2011 (EEP) adopted in March 2011, this piece of legislation the European Commission should adopt at the end of June 2011 is supposed to help the European Union reach its 20% primary energy saving objective by 2020.
Energy Cities will closely follow this legislative work to ensure the new directive provides substantial support to local authorities that have voluntarily committed to the Energy and Climate objectives of the EU through the Covenant of Mayors.
Since the new Directive will not impose any binding targets on Energy Efficiency for Member States, it is crucial that local authorities’ potential in terms of energy savings be tapped, as Energy Cities already suggested it in its position about the Energy Efficiency Plan.
