Concerted Action on the Energy Efficiency Directive

Project description

Facilitating the implementation of the Energy Efficiency Directive

The Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) establishes a common framework of measures for increasing energy efficiency within the EU. The aim of the 3rd Concerted Action on the Energy Efficiency Directive (CA EED3) is to foster the exchange of information and experience among Member States and other participating countries (Norway) with a view to facilitate the implementation of the Directive of 2018/2002 amending Directive 2012/27/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on energy efficiency. Specifically, this action will enhance and structure the sharing of information and experiences from national implementation. It will also encourage dialogue between Member States on common approaches for the effective implementation of parts of the EED.

Objective

The objective of the 3rd Concerted Action on the Energy Efficiency Directive (CA EED3) is to foster exchange of information and experience among Member States and other participating countries (Norway) with a view to facilitating the implementation of the Directive of 2018/2002 amending Directive 2012/27/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on energy efficiency (EED), including the implementation of the foreseen recast of this Directive . The Action follows on from the CA ESD, CA EED and CA-EED 2 which has helped MS with the interpretation of the legislation, the implementation options and support via detailed information and access to experts on mature policies and practices. The specific objectives of the Action are:
• To enhance and structure the sharing of information and experiences from national implementation whilst promoting good practice concepts in activities to improve and strengthen MS implementation of the EED.
• To encourage dialogue between MS on common approaches for the effective implementation of particular parts of the EED and synergies with RED and EPBD.
• To complement the work of the EED Committee assisting the European Commission.
The expected impact of the Action consists of a more harmonized approach and improved implementation of the EED in MS, as well as the transfer of good practices between countries and strengthened cross fertilisation with CA EPBD and CA RES.
The CA EED3 brings together a unique group of experts and policy makers, it is the only informal group with full representation of all Member States and Norway and by its very nature provides MS, DG Energy and CINEA with a unique opportunity to communicate in an informal way on a technical level with relevant experts. The Concerted Action community has developed during the course of the CA ESD, CA EED and CA-EED 2 making it easy to find entry points in MS where without the Action contacts would be difficult. In turn the road is paved for bilateral cooperation.
