Where are we? Constant increase in global

consumption mainly in transport and households,

Constant increase in electricity production,

Consequently: In spite high increase in renewable

production its share in total consumption stagnates,

European Commission Which is the current situation at EU level?

At EU level the legislative framework is almost completed with measures taken in both renewable and efficiency fields,

Research, innovation and other energy related programmes support projects in both fields

Is this enough ?

Where we are (1)

Trends in last 10 years: Increase in consumption Increase in RES production, but Stagnation of RES share on gross

energy consumption Poor action on energy efficiency Weak market penetration

compared with actual progress in technology+innovation in Europe

Commission Européenne - Direction Générale de l’Énergie et des Transports Mariàngels Pérez Latorre 11

European Commission

Where we are (2)

Persistent Weakness: Lack of development of mid and

long term Deficit of public/private partnership Lack of coordinated action in both

demand and supply sides Deficit of cities/regions partnership Lack of awareness of both

decision makers and consumers
