Summary

Generated

This regulation adjusts the EU's binding 2030 energy efficiency target to at least 32.5% for the 27 Member States, following the UK's withdrawal. It affects national governments and energy-intensive industries responsible for implementing efficiency measures. The technical adjustment is now in force and has been integrated into the broader European Green Deal framework.
