Energy, 2025, vol. 319, issue C

Abstract: This study addresses critical challenges in the reporting, monitoring, and use of energy audit data under Article 11 of the Energy Efficiency Directive across 18 EU member states. Current practices reveal significant variations resulting in notable information loss regarding industrial final energy use, particularly in seven member states. This information loss poses challenges for supervisory authorities in evaluating policy and tracking energy efficiency progress, highlighting the pressing need for harmonized data practices.
