FIEC at "High-Level Stakeholders Dialogue" with EU Commissioner Jørgensen
On 20 May, FIEC participated in the "High-Level Stakeholders Dialogue" organised by EU Commissioner Dan Jørgensen (responsible for the Energy & Housing portfolio).
Commissioner Jørgensen reminded that energy efficiency is no longer just about climate, but about security, affordability, and competitiveness of EU businesses and economy.
The construction sector is key to unlocking these benefits, but we need accurate and timely planning of security and national-level support to scale up. As underlined by the Commissioner: “The savings from energy efficiency materialise fast, and they matter for our people and our industry.” However, high upfront costs of investment remain a key concern. And addressing them by means of innovative financing models must remain high on the EU agenda.
