Germany ranks 4th on energy efficiency in EU
DENEFF / ODYSSEE-MURE
Germany is in fourth place in the European Union energy efficiency ranking ODYSSEE-MURE, behind the UK, Ireland and Spain. The ranking scores EU countries on different energy efficiency criteria, such as energy efficiency level, energy efficiency progress and energy efficiency policies. “For us to become the world champion in energy efficiency and remain that in the long term, ‘efficiency first’ must be transformed from a mere slogan to a sector-spanning basis of action in energy policy,” said Christian Noll, chairman of the German Industry Initiative for Energy Efficiency (DENEFF).
