European Energy Efficiency Conference
Following the success of the first "European Energy Efficiency Conference", held in March 2006 in Wels, the conference will address economic, technical, political, legal and institutional questions relating to energy efficiency, with a special focus on how public bodies, private households and businesses can reduce their energy costs and profit economically and at the same time protect the environment and the climate.

Energy efficiency is a major trend: the sharp price increases for energy sources with wide economic and social implications, the longer-term issues of security of supply as well as the climate protection commitments draw the attention of many decision makers to energy efficiency right now. Several important European initiatives, including the "European Green Paper on Energy Efficiency", the recently adopted directive on "End-Use Efficiency and Energy Services" and the recently presented "Energy Efficiency Action Plan" provide a framework for rapid market development as well as the requirement to act. Therefore, in all member states, but also many regions and municipalities strategies and programmes are currently under preparation to help companies, private households and public bodies to decrease their energy costs. The emerging new markets for energy services offer enormous opportunities for employment, innovation and economic growth in Europe.
