COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION (EU) 2026/537 of 10 March 2026 on unlocking private investment in energy efficiency

Summary

The European Union faces a substantial challenge in financing its energy efficiency goals, with a projected annual investment gap of EUR 170 billion, despite a binding target of an 11.7% energy consumption reduction by 2030. To address this, the European Commission has issued a recommendation to unlock private investment through targeted policy measures, engaging financial institutions and market actors to create a more favorable market environment. This initiative is in progress, aiming to triple the current investment rate to meet climate neutrality by 2050.
