Energy Efficiency Directive: Completing an energy policy puzzle

A general dossier organised by EurActiv with information about the Energy Efficiency Directive (EDD), agreed in October 2012.

The European Union put down the last piece of the bloc's 2020 climate and energy policy puzzle by adopting an Energy Efficiency Directive. The directive is a game-changer for energy companies, which are now required to achieve 1.5% energy savings every year among their final clients. The EU law is also expected to trigger the largest revamp of Europe's existing building stock to date and set new standards for public procurement and energy audits.
