Priority areas of implementation of the Efficiency First principle: enefirst report

Topics:

Multiple benefits and the Efficiency First principle

Project:

This report, delivered by the enefirst H2020 project, identifies promising policy approaches as regards Efficiency First (E1st) in several EU policy areas: buildings, power markets/networks, gas markets/networks, district heating, energy efficiency, climate and EU funds.

The report screened the policy areas and approaches for each policy area by reviewing the EU policy context; conducting interviews and using the examples of an existing implementation of the E1st principle; discussing the most important strategic and legislative documents where E1st is relevant. For each policy area, a selection of policy approaches to implement E1st is highlighted.

The objectives of the report are to facilitate the implementation process in the Member States and to guide the next steps of the project including more detailed analyses about barriers and success factors specific to the selected policy approaches, as well as the development of policy guidelines.
