EU ENERGY EFFICIENCY
By 30 June 2023, Member States were due to submit their draft updated National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs) in line with article 14 of the Governance Regulation. The Commission has published guidance, doc2 to Member States on the process and scope of this update.
On 24 October 2023, the Commission published its technical assessment of the NECP progress reports towards meeting the EU’s energy and climate objectives. The Staff Working Document is part of the 2023 State of the energy union report.
On 18 December 2023, the Commission published its EU-wide assessment of the draft updated NECPs, together with individual assessments and country-specific recommendations for the 21 Member States that submitted their draft plans in time. In addition, there is a 2-pages factsheet highlighting the Commission’s assessment per Member State. The documents are available per country in the list below.
At this stage, the 6 remaining Member States received assessments and recommendations only on their adaptation policies and consistency with the Union’s climate-neutrality objective. In addition, another Staff Working Document assesses progress on climate adaptation in all 27 Member States.
