The EcoSMEnergy Scoping Study Report presents the outcome of the baseline energy consumption assessment with SMEs operating under NACE codes C20-C22 and C25-C29. The assessment was carried out in several steps: First, desk research was conducted, existing research and projects were reviewed to establish a baseline understanding of energy consumption trends in these sectors. In a second step, the Chamber partners (CCIs) engaged with companies across the designated NACE sectors and gathered precise data through a standardized collection template. Finally, the collected data underwent rigorous analysis and discussion, resulting in aggregated insights that assess energy usage across the various sectors. The results serve as a critical foundation for developing targeted energy efficiency recommendations, interventions, and benchmarking strategies.
