Energy efficiency

The aim of energy-efficient development is to minimise the amount of energy required for the production and use of goods and services. Along with the promotion of renewable energies, increasing energy efficiency is one of the most important pillars of an effective climate policy that contributes to achieving the goals of the Paris Climate Change Convention. Furthermore, energy efficiency measures can contribute to improved and sustainable resource management and increase the international competitiveness of an economy.

We support our clients in the development of national strategies to increase energy efficiency and in the evaluation and implementation of specific policy measures in various technology fields and sectors. Our consulting services are based on our expertise in the analysis of economic mechanisms and incentive systems – which are key to the development and diffusion of energy-efficient technologies.
