Priorities for the EU legislature 2024/2029: Empowering energy consumers for a stronger, modern Europe
Empowered energy consumers can contribute to a clean, secure and efficient energy system. Yet, many restrictions still hinder the activation of flexible demand across Europe.
As price spikes and negative prices are increasingly frequent, sending clear signals on when and where there is a need to shift or cut energy demand or consume locally produced renewable energy is an urgent priority. This will benefit both the cost-effective systemic transition to climate neutrality and the reduction of all consumers’ energy bills, from households to large industries
To contribute to an impactful legislature 2024/2029, smartEn has identified 6 top priorities that would strengthen the EU competitiveness, security and sustainability with efficient and flexible consumers as the driving force.
