Strategies for Leaner Europe: Meeting the Challenge of Energy Efficiency

What energy efficiency policies will the European Union implement? How will they affect the demand for gas and power by 2030, and how should I position my company? These are the questions addressed by Strategies for Leaner Europe: Meeting the Challenge of Energy Efficiency.

Completed in 2008, the multiclient study addresses the lesser known costs and potential negative impacts of EU targets to reduce energy usage 20 percent by 2020. The study offers recommendations for building corporate efficiency models that promise longevity in the face of declining energy demand coming out of a new, leaner Europe.

Strategies for Leaner Europe: Meeting the Challenge of Energy Efficiency features our 2008 multiclient study designed to shed light on the hidden costs and unknown impacts of the European Union's energy efficiency targets. While the upside of these goals—supply security, decreased emissions, and cheaper energy—receive frequent mention, the massive investment they will necessitate and their potential adverse economic effects remain less explored.

Strategies for Leaner Europe attempts to balance the debate by providing in-depth analyses on the technologies, costs, business models, and policy implications tied to European energy efficiency. The study serves as an invaluable resource for members hoping to acclimate to the new targets and ensure corporate survivability in an environment in which European electricity demand could remain essentially flat and gas demand decline.
