In June 25th the Odyssee-Mure project hosted a live webinar: “Energy efficiency trends in the EU: Have we got off track?” (by L. Sudries and B. Lapillonne, Enerdata).
The main findings of the authors indicate that since 2014, there has been a higher progression of the final energy consumption than the primary energy consumption, due to significant changes in the power mix and an increasing efficiency of the thermal power generation. Simultaneously, energy efficiency improvements have led to significant energy savings, but these progresses are partially offset by activity. The authors also conclude that EU 2020 target on primary consumption will be easily reached due to the COVID crisis which will decrease consumption by 5 to 10% in 2020. EU target to 2030 should not be reached with present trends and requires additional measures, which is the purpose of Article 7.
The webinar reached a large audience with 359 participants and about 200 views of the webinar recording.
