The Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) establishes a common framework of measures for increasing  energy efficiency within the European Union (EU).

This framework established a set of binding measures to help the EU reach its 20% energy efficiency target by 2020. Under the Directive, all EU countries are required to use energy more efficiently at all stages of the energy chain, from production to final consumption.

The CA EED has a number of objectives that we aim to fulfil. By fulfilling these objectives, we work towards our main goal:

supporting the implementation of the Directive on Energy Efficiency (EED) while providing Member States with an open forum to share and collaborate on their energy efficiency initiatives.

Read more about our objectives

Throughout the course of CA EED and the periodic Plenary Meetings, a wide variety of reports, newsletters, presentations and fact sheets are produced. Find and download the full selections of reports, newsletters, presentations and fact sheets from the CA EED here.

Read the outcome reports

The CA EED provides a trusted forum where EU Member States including Norway and the UK can exchange experience and collaborate with fellow experts in order to learn from one another’s energy efficiency initiatives.
