The Coalition for Energy Savings, of which WWF is a member, recently published the "Guidebook for Strong Implementation". Objective: Empowering stakeholders to champion a successful implementation of the Energy Efficiency Directive.

The EU Energy Efficiency Directive outlines a framework of measures in order for the EU to reach its 20% energy savings target by 2020 and pave the way for more energy efficiency improvements beyond that date. Now that the Directive has entered into force, Member States must transpose it into national law and implement the many requirements in the legislation before the 2020 deadline.

The Coalition's Guidebook for Strong Implementation is here to help.

The Coalition for Energy Savings has broken down the Directive into main themes and legal requirements, as well as developed a list of good practices for a strong, ambitious and complete implementation of the legislation.

The Coalition hopes that the information in this Guidebook will not only empower stakeholders to champion a successful implementation of the Energy Efficiency Directive, but also drive home the importance of energy savings in building a more sustainable and competitive Europe.
