The EU Primary Energy Factor for Electricity (EU PEF) value of 2.0, proposed by the European Commission in the 2016 review of the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED), reflects several inaccurate methodology choices, disregarding recognised standards and undermining the ultimate objectives of the EED to deliver energy savings across the entire energy value chain.

The joint briefing paper that AEBIOM signed with EFIEES, COGEN Europe, EGEC Geothermal, Euroheat & Power And Solar Heat Europe explains in more details why our organisations defend a 2.3 EU PEF value as more accurate.
