CODE 2 Press Release – Better implementation of Energy Efficiency Directive central to delivering secure, efficient EU heat supply

As EU policymakers redirect their attention to primary energy savings and reducing EU’s reliance on imported energy, a new policy report highlights the substantial energy losses along the energy supply chain before reaching the end user. The CODE 2 policy report emphasises the need for energy system-level savings in both heat and power and shows what policy changes are needed to develop wider system efficiency. It concludes that implementation of the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) must be improved if efficient delivery of Europe’s heat supply is to be secured.
