The 6th MEDENER International Conference has provided a close-up insight in one of the most classic and debated topics related to energy efficiency: energy prices and energy efficiency measures, particularly with respect to end users and families. Specific attention has been given to some countries in the Southern shore of the Mediterranean, where prices are often tariffs and strongly supported by the State.

How should the lack of an efficient energy market affect the design of energy efficiency policies and their implementation? What the consequences of an inefficient energy market on end users’ behaviour? The report of the 6th MEDENER International Conference reflects the exchange between energy experts and practitioners, who tried to answer such questions with a special focus on energy prices constraint.
