Identifying new or untapped potentials for energy savings was among the topics ranked with highest priority in the stakeholders’ survey done in 2023. The increase in the amount of energy savings required by Article 8 EED for 2024-2030 has indeed raised even more the interest in finding where to act.

The summaries briefly remind the objectives and scope of the studies, the methodology used, and the main results.
They also include a discussion about the eligibility of the identified potentials to Article 8 EED.
