EU Directive on Energy Efficiency and Energy Efficiency Act

The Energy Efficiency Directive (EU)2023/1791 provides for energy efficiency targets at EU and national levels, a national energy saving obligation and measures to promote energy efficiency. 

• The revised Energy Efficiency Directive (EU)2023/1791 entered into force on 10 October 2023. 

The Energy Efficiency Directive has been partially implemented by the Energy Efficiency Act (1429/2014). The energy efficiency contract system and other alternative measures, such as energy advice, also play an important role in the implementation of the directive.
