EU still can't prove €43 billion in home renovation funds actually saved energy

Despite a significant €43 billion investment to boost home renovations post-pandemic, the European Union has yet to provide conclusive evidence that the funds led to the expected energy savings and benefits for taxpayers. Auditors highlight the lack of concrete data to prove the program's success, raising questions about the effectiveness of such large-scale initiatives. This uncertainty underscores broader concerns about the EU's ability to track and evaluate the outcomes of its ambitious environmental and economic projects, potentially impacting future funding and policy decisions.
