Abstract

All the stages of the energy policy cycle (debate, design, implementation and monitoring) involve a broad range of institutions. Increasingly, energy efficiency has regained a high priority in EU energy policies, notably underlined by the EC Green Paper on energy efficiency (2006) and in the following Energy Efficiency Action Plan. The objectives of this paper will be to analyse the role and effectiveness of the energy efficiency industry and services representation in the energy policy cycle; and identify options for a most effective representation.
