Citizens’ Panel on Energy Efficiency - second meeting
From across Europe 150 citizens came together once again for the second session to continue the discussions about
- the energy sector and energy efficiency efforts,
- information and change of behavior in terms of energy use,
- chances and challenges regarding skills and workforce related to energy efficiency
Afterwards they proceeded to draft their initial recommendations which they will finalise during the third session in April. Their conclusions will subsequently be integrated into the policy-making efforts of the Commission.

First debate on energy efficiency
This is just the start. There will be debates on many more topics. Stay tuned!
We want to hear from you on how to improve energy efficiency - how to do more with less energy in our everyday lives.
Your ideas will help us to ensure that the transition to clean energy is achieved at the lowest cost and with the greatest benefits for all.
What can we do to reduce energy bills? How can we make our homes more efficient? What smarter energy choices can we make to protect our planet?

European Citizens' Panels
A key objective of the European Commission is the stronger citizen participation in its democratic processes and policies. In this vein, the Commission has established European Citizens’ Panels as a regular feature of democratic life in the EU.
Each Citizens’ Panel brings together 150 randomly selected citizens from all 27 EU Member States, reflecting Europe's diversity and young generations. The Panels make recommendations on key policies that affect us all.
Stay tuned for latest developments on current and future Panels.
