Since the 1970s, energy efficiency has contributed more to our economic prosperity than any other single source of energy supply. This is the power of a million small, and often invisible, actions.
An event organised by eceee in partnership with GEO PLC and with support from RAP, the Regulatory Assistance Project
We need to make energy efficiency the first priority for Europe and it must happen now. With obligations under the Energy Efficiency Directive, there are plenty of new business opportunities for actors that are willing and ready to supply energy efficiency to a broad variety of customers.
This workshop is open for all and there is no charge.
