The European Energy Efficiency Scoreboard 2024 and the gap to EU 2030 Energy Efficiency targets

The webinar presents the 2024 Edition of the European Energy Efficiency Scoreboard, which is based on the ODYSSEE-MURE databases concerning energy efficiency indicators and policies. The purpose of the scoreboard is to evaluate the energy efficiency performance of European Union countries, both overall and by sector, including households, transport, industry, and services.

This edition includes the latest data on energy efficiency and the impacts of policies, gathered through ODYSSEE-MURE. Each country's score is determined by three main components: the energy efficiency level achieved, the progress made in energy efficiency, and the impacts of energy efficiency policies. These components are then combined to form an overall energy efficiency score.

During the presentation, we discuss changes compared to the previous edition and examine case studies from selected countries. Additionally, the webinar will explore the European energy efficiency policy gap using a newly introduced Energy Efficiency Policy Assessment Tool. This tool allows for a comparison of policy impacts with energy efficiency scenarios for 2030, aligning with the objective of achieving climate neutrality in the European Union.
