European Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (eceee)

What European Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (eceee) does

eceee (European Council for an Energy Efficient Economy) is a Stockholm-based, membership-based non-profit association founded in 1993 that generates and disseminates evidence-based knowledge on energy efficiency policy. The organization serves energy efficiency researchers, policy experts, NGOs, research institutes, national energy agencies, and industry professionals across Europe through a combination of biannual Summer Study conferences (general and industrial), workshops, policy analysis publications (Energy Efficiency Scoreboard, Energy Efficiency Watch, Policy Pages covering EU Green Deal, RePowerEU, Energy Efficiency First Principle), and a scientific journal (Energy Demand, launched in partnership with Wiley). It also brokers member access to Springer's Energy Efficiency journal and operates a free news service published twice weekly.

The business model is a subscription/membership-fee model with 100+ member organizations across tiered categories ranging from €70 (student/retiree) to €9,450 (large private enterprise). Members receive bundled benefits including journal access, discounted event registration, the Members Forum, and exclusive Coalition for Energy Savings newsletters. Revenue is supplemented by event registration fees from the biannual Summer Studies. Operations are lean: the secretariat is outsourced to Borg & Co, a Stockholm energy efficiency consultancy, with Nils Borg serving as Executive Director; the core staff headcount is approximately 5. eceee works closely with the European Commission on Energy Union, Energy Efficiency Directives, and EU Green Deal initiatives, and is part of the Coalition for Energy Savings.

eceee does not develop proprietary technology products, APIs, or AI tools; its core asset is a curated 30-plus-year conference proceedings archive (1993-2026) and a recognized position as an evidence-based input channel into European energy efficiency policy. Distribution relies on the eceee.org website, a 3,800+ member LinkedIn group, a YouTube channel, email newsletters, and in-person events.
