The Learning Networks for Energy Efficiency consist of company networks, composed by 10-15 companies each, which set collectively specific energy efficiency targets. The Learning Networks system involves companies sharing energy efficiency experiences in moderated meetings, conducting energy reviews, identifying energy-saving measures, setting joint targets, and continuously monitoring performance.

The 2022 monitoring report for the Learning Networks contains the results of more than 2000 companies aggregated in 212 networks, which managed to implement 9070 energy efficiency measures.

In 8,328 of these, the energy savings were quantifiable, while the remaining were mainly organizational measures, such as training courses and information campaigns.

These quantifiable measures result in total annual savings of 6,743 GWh of final energy, 8,452 GWh of primary energy and 2,451 kton of CO2.
583 measures (7% of the total) involved motor and drives, both in terms of replacement and optimization of the existing technology.

Are you aware of other similar initiatives in other EU and non-EU countries?
Do you think that the experience of German Learning Networks should be replicated in other EU countries?
