We have a new strategy to shape the global energy transition 🌍⚡   It's called the 𝐄𝐔 𝐠𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 and outlines an offer from the EU to the world   🌍 using diplomacy to protect our core interests 🌍 promoting standards for a fair transition by assisting our partners to develop theirs 🌍 and addressing new security threats and challenges, including in the energy sector   It adds an external dimension to the Clean Industrial Deal and will strengthen existing partnerships and forge new ones.   The Commission and the EU’s High Representative of Foreign Affairs and Security Policy published a Joint Communication on 16 October.   🔗 https://lnkd.in/eMfwyAEc

Statistics to be proud of... The EU is by far the global leader in renewable and low-carbon electricity production ⭐⚡ This year's edition of the EU energy statistical pocketbook shows that renewable and low-carbon energy accounted for 69% of the EU's electricity mix in 2023. This is in contrast with the U.S. (40%), China (35%) and the global average (39%). For more energy statistics 👉 https://lnkd.in/emrxbpDm #EnergyFacts

How can we make EU laws and policies simpler and implement them better? Through dialogue with stakeholders, of course! Yesterday, Commissioner Jørgensen hosted an Implementation Dialogue on EU legislation for energy efficient products - listening and exchanging with high-level stakeholders representing manufacturers, retailers, market surveillance, NGOs and other interested parties. Energy efficiency delivers a triple win 👛 it cuts energy costs ⚡ strengthens Europe’s energy security 🌱 and accelerates the decarbonisation of our energy system However, as stated in the Draghi Report, insufficient national market surveillance and, as a result, poor enforcement (and potentially compliance) are continuously cited as a shortcoming in the implementation of EU energy efficient product legislation.

Why is hydrogen important for the clean energy transition? 🤔🌱 What are the challenges to its roll-out? 🧗 💁 And what actions is the EU taking? Have 5 minutes to spare? We answer these questions and more in our newly published 'In Focus' article on hydrogen. https://lnkd.in/g5eWBZ_F

Over 400 million external power supplies (EPS) are sold in the EU every year. To increase consumer convenience as well as resource and energy efficiency, the Commission has revised the ecodesign rules for EPS - such as those charging laptops and smartphones or powering wireless routers and computer monitors 💻📱.   Common Chargers will be more widespread in general and all will display the EU Common Charger logo, a distinct visual element that will facilitate the matching between the charger and the powered devices.   Not only will this help and inform consumers, but the new rules are also expected to make annual savings of around 3% of EPS lifecycle energy consumption by 2035, which corresponds to the energy used in 1 year by around 140 000 electric cars 🚘. They will also reduce GHG emissions and related pollutant emissions.   More details 👉 https://lnkd.in/eZJCq_a4

The Energy Poverty Advisory Hub (EPAH) puts 𝐄𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐕𝐮𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬 in focus! Energy poverty is not just about high bills or inefficient homes. It’s about structural inequalities that put certain groups at greater risk. ⚡🏚️ In the coming months, EPAH will publish a series of articles, tools, and resources to broaden the understanding of equity and vulnerability in energy poverty and encourage a holistic, systemic approach. The aim is to ➡️ show why equity matters in the just transition ➡️ highlight real-life stories and examples of vulnerable consumers ➡️ share case studies on how inclusive policies and renovation schemes work in practice ➡️ invite cities, practitioners, researchers & policymakers to go beyond numbers, and recognise the human face behind the data If we want to unlock opportunity and well-being while tackling inequality, equity must be embedded in every step, from diagnosis to design, delivery, and long-term support.

🏗️ What can digitalisation offer for the energy renovations of buildings? It can ✅ increase productivity ✅ simplify the implementation of the EU’s Energy Performance of Buildings Directive ✅ create new commercial offers relevant to energy renovations of buildings Interested in hearing about some concrete examples that illustrate these benefits? Well then, you’re in luck! We recently organised a webinar on exactly this topic, together with the Danish Energy Agency. 🔴 Recording available here https://shorturl.at/n5FaV #EPBD #SmartBuildings #EnergyEfficiency
