NATIONAL ENERGY EFFICIENCY ACTION PLAN 2014–2020
The objective of Directive 2012/27/EU on energy efficiency is to establish a common
framework for promoting energy efficiency in the EU in order to reduce primary energy
consumption by 20 % by the year 2020 and establish conditions for improving energy
efficiency thereafter. The objectives of the measures are to utilise energy saving potential
across the entire energy sector – from production, transmission and distribution to final
consumption, including in the industrial and building sectors; to overcome the regulatory
and non-regulatory barriers to the market, to increase consumer awareness and to
formulate national energy efficiency targets for 2020.
