The third Concerted Action for the Energy Efficiency Directive (CA EED 3) supports EU Member States and Norway in the transposition and implementation of the EU Energy Efficiency Directive (EED). The CA EED is financed under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. The third Concerted Action builds upon the work of earlier Concerted Actions (CA ESD/EED), which started in 2008.

The aim of the Concerted Action for the Energy Efficiency Directive project is to foster exchange of information and experience among European Member States with a view to facilitating the implementation of the Energy Efficiency Directive.

Within the Concerted Action, representatives from national authorities and bodies entrusted with implementing the Energy Efficiency Directive have collaboratively built a strong European network and gathered a wealth of information and lessons learned. The Concerted Action brings together this unique group of experts and policy makers from all Member States and Norway and enables a singular opportunity for them to communicate in an informal way on a technical level with relevant experts.

• To enhance and structure the sharing of information and experiences from national implementation whilst promoting good practice concepts in activities to improve and strengthen Member States implementation of the EED.
• To encourage dialogue between Member States on common approaches for the effective implementation of particular parts of the EED and synergies with the Renewable Energy Directive and the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive.
• To complement the work of the EED Committee assisting the European Commission.

It is expected that a more harmonized approach and improved implementation of the Energy Efficiency Directive in Member States, as well as the transfer of good practices between countries and cross fertilisation with the Concerted Actions for the Renewable Energy Directive and the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive.
