With this directive, agreed by the co-legislators on 10 March 2023 and in force since 10 October 2023, the EU sets a binding goal to achieve an overall reduction in the final energy consumption of 11.7% by 2030 (compared to 2020 projections). Delivering this target demands a concerted effort from all EU countries over the next 5 years, which is reflected in their National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs). The Commission monitors progress in this domain, notably by analysing NECPs. The Commission’s EU-wide assessment of the cumulative impact of the updated NECPs (COM/2025/274), published in May, indicated that, while many countries have raised their energy efficiency ambitions, further efforts are needed to fully meet the target.
