“We cannot keep a silo approach anymore: #EnergyEfficiency, #DemandSideFlexibility and #renewable generation should go hand in hand” For your Friday morning read: 🔥 Hot off the press! Energy efficiency is central to Europe’s #EnergyTransition toward a clean, sustainable and resilient energy system, but implementing Energy Efficiency policies comes with its challenges. Member States must implement EU laws in a coherent way to ensure consumers reduce their energy needs, use flexibility effectively, and consume clean energy from renewables—whether deployed on-site or supplied from the grid.
