The EU aims to cut its energy consumption by 20% by 2020.
However, ccurrent estimates tend to show the EU is not on track
to achieving this objective. As a result, new measures on energy
efficiency are now being proposed. The European PROMISE Project
- launched in 2012 and funded by the European Commission under
the Intelligent Energy - Europe (IEE) programme - will host a
European awareness conference on energy-efficient consumer
behaviour in European Islands. The project aims to solve the
issue of energy use still being largely invisible to the user,
while being rapidly increasing due to larger homes, new services
and additional appliances. By sharing information and
experience, energy agencies from Samsø (Denmark), Iceland,
Rhodes (Greece) and Tenerife (Spain) aim to promote tried-and-
tested methods for reducing the energy consumption of
households. The event will seek to promote energy savings and
awareness by spreading knowledge and experiences on how to
reduce the energy consumption of households. Stake
