The best way to improve energy efficiency is to create a good society.
In the Electrification 2.0 podcast of the Environment Improvement Center, we talked about who owns energy efficiency, who pays for its improvement, and whose and how many benefits there are from improved energy efficiency. In the conversation, you can hear how, for the fourth year in a row, we spend tens of millions of euros of public funds and hundreds of thousands of working hours of civil servants to improve energy efficiency in households.
In the fifth year of implementation, we started to apply some better ways to direct public funds to those with difficulties to change the energy efficiency of their household on their own, who need this change the most and for whom this change provides the greatest common benefits.
It would be great if we all together had available all the data on where the way public funds were spent and the benefits that individuals and society as a whole gained through those investments. In this way, we would help build a good society.
