This document summarizes a presentation about the EU's energy policy and goals. It discusses how the EU pays billions annually to import energy and relies on single suppliers for gas. The EU's 20-20-20 goals aim to reduce greenhouse gas levels 20%, increase renewables to 20% of energy consumption, and lower energy use 20% by 2020. However, the EU is not on track to meet its energy savings target. New directives establish rules for energy efficiency and nearly zero-energy buildings. Achieving the EU's climate change goals will require large investments and for renewables to supply 55-75% of energy by 2050.

Why energy policy matters for Europe
•EU pays 2.5% of its annual GDP to import energy: € 270 bn for oil, € 40 bn for gas
EU
•Several Member States rely on a single supplier for gas
•EU = 20% of world energy use & largest global energy importer: EU will increasingly
compete for energy sources
•Energy represents 80% of EU GHG emissions
•Investment challenge around € 1 trillion by 2020 (mostly private sector)
•Energy costs are an important and increasing part of households' and businesses'
expenses (40% energy consumption due to building construction and managment)
