LIEPP's Environmental Policies Research Group and the European Investment Bank are pleased to convene: 

Policy Instruments for the energy efficiency sector: enabling mechanisms for a “FIT for 55”

Kick-off consultation and engagement workshop

Brussels, 5 december 2022, 12.30 pm - 5 pm CET

Venue: EIB Office, Rond-Point Robert Schuman, 6, B-1040 Brussels

Workshop organizers :

Cristina Peñasco (Cambridge University & Bennett Institute) and Marc Ringel (Sciences Po, European Chair for Sustainable Development and Climate Transition).

Presentation : 

Energy efficiency stands out as a key policy area in Fit for 55-package, the RePowerEU communication and the common agreement of EU member states on a voluntary reduction of natural gas demand by 15%. It is described as one of the quickest, fastest and more cost-effective ways to deliver all together climate, energy and social goals.

With the negotiations of the notably Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) coming to its last phase, this raises many questions about the next step, the implementation of the updated legislation: How can a swift and ambitious implementation in the member states be supported? Is further guidance and governance needed from the European level? Which measures and policy options should be frontloaded to deliver quick results? Did the negotiations leave out policy options that could be taken up in the next round of designing policies? How can especially action on energy efficiency in the building sector be enhanced with a clear gap between intended and implemented retrofit decisions?

The project “Policy Instruments For The Residential Energy Efficiency Sector: Enabling Mechanisms For A Fit For 55 Efficient Transition” (PIREES55) aims to look into these questions by aligning closely with experts and policy actors. The present workshop acts as a kick-off meeting to gather the views and recommendations from policy-makers and practitioners to co-design the focus of the research efforts. Based on inputs from the European Commission and the European Investment Bank it will allow experts to exchange and discuss the next steps of EU energy efficiency policies.

The workshop will be chaired by Charlotte Halpern (Sciences Po, CEE & LIEPP) and Fulceri Bruni Roccia (EIB). It is organized with the support of the Sciences Po European Chair for Sustainable Development and Cambridge University.
