    The ENSMOV consortium is organising a webinar to discuss the proposed changes to the Energy Efficiency Directive energy savings obligation (Article 8, formerly 7). The proposals aim to align the obligation with the EU’s 55% net emissions reduction goal in 2030 and would inter alia in 2024:

    • introduce a new obligation for all Member States to make new annual savings equivalent to 1.5% of final energy consumption each year until 2030, replacing the current requirement to make new annual energy savings of 0.8% each year;
    • require Member States to achieve a proportion of their energy savings among people affected by energy poverty, vulnerable customers or people living in social housing;
    • not count energy savings from policy measures regarding the direct combustion of fossil fuel technologies; and
    • carry over outstanding energy savings in the case where targets are not met.

    At the webinar the EU Commission will present the new proposals, followed by responses from our panel and Q&A, based on questions from you, the audience participants.

    Participation is free upon registration at the following link here.

    This event is organised by smartEn in partnership with Power2Drive.

    On our path towards climate neutrality, clean electrification of end-use sectors and, in particular, of the transport and building sectors will play a crucial role. This inevitably brings important changes to the way the electricity system functions as it will need to become more flexible to support the increase of variable renewable energy in a reliable and cost-effective way.

    There is where electric vehicles can play a significant role. If done smartly, charging can turn electric vehicles into Decentralised Energy Resources providing flexibility to the system and supporting consumers’ active participation in the clean energy transition.
