“Energy Union” launched today by the European Commission
Date: 25 Feb 2015Category:
Reaction from the renewable heating & cooling industry to the “Framework strategy for a resilient energy union with a forward-looking climate change policy"
EGEC - AEBIOM - ESTIF reaction available here
ESTIF regrets that the Commission’s proposal
- Lacks reference on renewables for heating and cooling to improve security of supply;
- Fails to see the synergies between energy efficiency and renewable energy, notably in the building sector;
- Fails to propose a strong, separate and governance for renewables and energy efficiency to ensure consistency and comparability of Member States’ policies;
- Fails to recognise that the internal energy market cannot be complete if only based on electricity and gas. A true internal energy market should cover heating as well.
