“FEDARENE is excited to join the Coalition for Energy Savings at a time when investments in the energy efficiency sector can restart the world’s economies. Regions, energy agencies and islands have been front-runners in innovative energy efficiency programmes focusing on building renovation, energy management and energy poverty alleviation. We look forward to bringing our local knowledge and expertise to the Coalition to deliver on the highest level of ambition in EU energy efficiency policies”.
