The rising energy demand and high energy bills require not only investments in energy-efficient solutions, but also a deeper look into the human-related factors of the clean energy transition, such as consumer behaviour.
The Energy Behaviour Forum, launched in spring 2025, is a Commission initiative supporting local action on energy efficient behaviour.
The pilot project will run for 2 years and its tailored tools and activities aim to increase EU citizen’s awareness about energy efficiency.
By focusing on changing citizens’ behaviour locally, and making them more energy-efficiency aware, the forum contributes to the objectives of the EU’s green transition and energy independence.
Who is it for?
The forum serves as a platform for municipalities and regions, as well as other stakeholders actively engaged in designing and implementing initiatives aimed at promoting the adoption of energy-efficient behaviours.
What does the forum offer?
To support national, regional and local authorities, the Energy Behaviour Forum shares information on consumer behaviour, as well as information on concrete projects aiming at boosting strong consumer behaviour regarding energy efficiency. It also organises and offers
- online courses and expert trainings
- case studies
- guidance and policy support tools
- an EU-wide networking space
