Due to the current high-price situation for energy, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across Europe are under great pressure to reduce their energy consumption, to become more energy efficient and/ or to make use of carbon neutral renewable energies by replacing climate damaging fossil fuels. 

 Apart from necessary medium to long-term strategies of European companies in order to master the transformation of their energy systems, recommendations for quick and easy energy saving measures are of great importance in the current situation.

 In order to support European SMEs accordingly, members of the “energy task force” of the Enterprise Europe Network have checked available recommendations in their regions and countries. A list of about 150 short-term measures by the German Initiative Energieeffizienz- und Klimaschutz-Netzwerke  had turned out to be the most comprehensive document, focusing on measures that can be done quickly by SMEs  on their own and without big investments.
