Version Française ci-dessous ⬇ Energy Update with Abdel D., our Senior Sales Manager, who leads our energy efficiency and sustainability solutions. Abdel shares insights on the latest EU directives and how they will impact the energy landscape. In a constantly evolving energy landscape, staying informed about key directives is essential, particularly those from the European Union, such as the Fit for 55 program or the Green Deal, which offers a renewed vision of Ursula Von Der Leyen's green ambitions. Recently re-elected as President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen reaffirms her commitment to the #GreenDeal, focusing on a greener re-industrialization of Europe and setting new ambitions for reducing CO2 emissions and energy consumption. Indeed, EU member states will have to comply with an increasing annual energy savings obligation, rising from 0.8% (currently) to 1.3% per year (2024-2025), 1.5% (2026-2027), and 1.9% starting from 2028. These new objectives are expected to be translated into new regulatory obligations as well as new financing solutions.   How will these initiatives shape your industry?
