Implementation of the Energy Efficiency Act
Kurzmeldungen (hib)
29.06.2023 – The German Bundestag today passed the Energy Efficiency Act (EnEfG), which is intended to significantly accelerate the implementation of measures to increase energy efficiency in Germany. The law is a key element of the German government’s climate protection strategy and aims to reduce energy consumption by 20% by 2030 and 50% by 2050 compared to 2008 levels.
The EnEfG contains a number of new measures to increase energy efficiency in buildings, industry, and transport. These include:
- New energy efficiency standards for new buildings and major renovations
- Obligation to install energy-efficient heating systems in existing buildings
- Expansion of energy efficiency programs for businesses and municipalities
- Introduction of an energy efficiency label for products
The EnEfG also establishes a new Energy Efficiency Agency (EEA), which will be responsible for monitoring and implementing the law. The EEA will also provide support to businesses and municipalities in implementing energy efficiency measures.
The EnEfG is a major step forward in Germany’s efforts to reduce energy consumption and combat climate change. The law is expected to lead to significant savings in energy costs for businesses and consumers, and will also help to reduce Germany’s dependence on fossil fuels.
