Statement from APPLiA

Having access to energy-efficient home appliances is a fundamental right for every consumer!
Yet, only 25.5% of Europeans currently live in households with improved energy efficiency. This means millions are missing out on lower energy costs and a more sustainable lifestyle.
On World Consumer Rights Day, it’s essential to ensure that all households, especially low-income ones, can benefit from a just and fair transition. As highlighted in the EU’s Affordable Energy Action Plan, giving consumers access to more efficient appliances is key to making this happen.

We call on policymakers to build on this by encouraging investments in decarbonisation and providing meaningful incentives for consumers to enhance household efficiency.
