How will the Recovery Plan speed up the shift towards a low carbon economy?
The Plan is packed full of measures which will work in this direction. On energy efficiency, for example, it calls on Member States to set demanding targets for public buildings and both private and social housing and to make them subject to energy certification on a regular basis. To facilitate reaching their national targets, Member States should consider introducing a reduction of tax for energy-performing buildings. The Commission also calls on Member States and industry to urgently develop innovative mechanisms for financing building refurbishments (with repayments being made over several years based on energy savings).
