"Energy efficiency (EE) is the most cost-efficient measure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Through lower energy consumption, we are less dependent on imports of oil and gas and their varying prices. It is of crucial importance to focus investment on energy efficiency and to limit the money we spend on oil and gas imports. That money should create jobs in our SMEs, agriculture, forestry sector and industry. The Commission’s estimates showed that a 20% increase in EE could potentially create as many as a million new jobs in Europe and an average household can save at least EUR 1 000 per year. A lot has been achieved since the last EEAP, but there is no evidence that the target can be met by 2020. New instruments towards boosting energy savings should be introduced at EU and national level with the emphasis on two main areas: renovation of existing buildings and measures to boost financing. Old buildings have the highest efficiency potential and the appropriate financial instruments to utilise that potential are missing. These two issues should be properly addressed in the revision of the Energy Efficiency Action Plan in order to get things moving as desired."@en1
