EU: Renovation wave – consultation
Process and next steps
As a preparatory step, the EU Commission published a roadmap on the initiative in May 2020, with a 4-week period for public feedback. On 12 June, the Commission launched a 4-week public consultation to feed into the Commission preparation of this initiative.
The Commission plans to publish in autumn 2020 a strategic Communication and an action plan on the initiative for the years to come. They will cover concrete legislative and non-legislative measures and enabling tools, financing and non-financing aspects, and take into account different levels of action at EU, national and local or regional level, to make faster and deeper renovation.
Next steps
- The public consultation remains open until 9 July 2020 (midnight Brussels time).
- The Commission is organising on 23 June a digital session at the European Sustainable Energy Week 2020 to discuss the Renovation wave initiative, and is in close contact with Member States, the EU Council, the European Parliament and a broad range of stakeholders.
