The concept of Efficiency First is gaining increasing traction in European energy policy discussions. In a nutshell, efficiency first refers to the principle that the potential value of investing in energy efficiency – be that end-use savings or demand response – should be assessed in all decisions affecting the development of the energy system. As such, it represents an organizing principle that prioritizes energy efficiency and demand response investments whenever they would cost less or deliver more than building new supply or networks.
In this podcast episode, Edith Bayer and Andreas Graf (ELEEP) discuss concrete examples of what efficiency first means in practice for Europe and the US, including experience with utility-driven energy efficiency measures in the United States and what role it could play in EU legislative developments going forward.
