The way towards:
The Energy Union
Where we want to go:
A secure, sustainable, competitive, affordable energy for every European
What this means:
Energy security, solidarity and trust
A fully integrated internal energy market
Energy efficiency first
Transition to a long-lasting low-carbon society
An Energy Union for Research, Innovation and Competiveness
How we want to reach it:

1 Secure supplies
We have to become less dependent
on energy from outside the EU
This means increasing transparency on gas supply; diversifying sources, supplies and
routes; working together on security of supply and developing a stronger European role in
global energy markets.

Energy should flow freely across
the EU – without any technical

2 Internal energy market
This means connecting markets through interconnections and implementing and
upgrading the internal market's software while enhancing regional cooperation and
empowering consumers.

This means increasing energy efficiency, in particular in the building sector, and
promoting an energy-efficient and decarbonized transport sector as well as efficient
products.

An ambitious climate policy is an integral
part of our Energy Union
The next challenge will be to enforce the 2030 energy and climate framework, while becoming the number
one in renewables.

Buildings renovation, a key sector
• Buildings are responsible for 40% of the EU
energy consumption
• 40% of our building stock was built before the
1970s, when no energy performance standards
were used
• 80% of the economic potential of energy efficiency
in buildings remains untapped
• low demolition rates (0.1% per year), low
refurbishment rates
(1.2% per year)

• Effective implementation of current framework
• Review in the short and mid-term of certain elements of the
framework (e.g. Energy Labelling; Energy Performance of
Buildings Directive Art 7 and other elements under the Energy
Efficiency Directive)
Putting in place the right policy framework
• Effective use of European Structural and Investment
Funds and other funding (EIC, H2020 etc.)
• Work with the financial sector to create the right framework
conditions for investment (e.g. development of the right
standards)
• Stimulate demand (through a robust implementation of existing
and future rules, e.g. on EPCs)
