Energy Efficiency helps everyone to spend less!

More efficient use of energy by industry helps to:

• Reduce costs and make enterprises more competitive
• Provide opportunities to replace old equipment and modernise production
• Expand output, or the range of production
• Improve quality standards and meet demands of export markets.

For households, EE helps to do things like:

• Save on monthly expenses, especially for water heating
• Have comfort in all the rooms of the home, not just one
• Reduce the use of air conditioning.

For municipalities becoming more energy efficient will save on the cost of:

• Providing municipal services like transport, utilities and waste management
• Heating and cooling public buildings

For governments, EE and RE is important because it

• Reduces the amount of imported energy, increasing energy security
• Reduces air pollution and CO2 emissions, thus reducing global warming and helping to meet national targets and Energy Community Treaty commitments and EU Accession obligations.
