15 Sep sEEnergies and EERAdata preparing two special issues with a focus on the Energy Efficiency First Principle
sEEnergies and EERAdata projects have organised two special issues with a focus on the Energy Efficiency First Principle:
Elsevier, Smart Energy journal – Special issue on the Energy efficiency first principle.
The “Energy Efficiency First principle” is a fundamental principle applied to policymaking, planning and investment in the energy sector. EE1st is a powerful approach to energy policy that could save families and businesses billions of euros in energy costs annually, improve energy security, and accelerate progress toward Europe’s goals for carbon reduction.
It is pivotal to understand and quantify the up-stream effects of end demand savings and to understand effects of a re-design of the energy conversion system. There is a lack of knowledge regarding the supply chain effects of the EE1st principle. Recently, several important Horizon 2020 projects have taken up the challenge to investigate this principle.
Instructions for submission: The submission website for this journal is located at: www.editorialmanager.com/segy/default.aspx
To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for inclusion into the special issue, it is important that authors select VSI:EEFP2021 when they reach the “Article Type” step in the submission process. Submission Deadline: 30. November 2021, The journal is open access. There is no article publishing charge until 31st December 2021

Elsevier, Energy Efficiency journal – Special issue on the Energy efficiency first principle.
“Energy Efficiency First” or “Efficiency First” (E1st) is a fundamental principle applied to policymaking, planning and investment in the energy sector, which is gaining visibility in European energy and climate policy. E1st is a powerful approach to energy policy that could save families and businesses billions of euros in energy costs annually, improve energy security, and accelerate progress toward Europe’s goals for carbon reduction and a clean energy economy. Briefly described, the concept of E1st prioritizes investments in customer-side efficiency resources (including end-use and supply side energy efficiency and demand response) whenever they would cost less, or deliver more value, than investing in energy infrastructures, fuels, and supply alone. However, it is not enough to define E1st as an overarching principle; it has to be operationalized, assessed and made accessible to policy makers. Recently, several important Horizon 2020 projects have taken up the challenge to investigate in detail this principle.
