6. PLAN TO INCREASE ENERGY EFFICIENCY
PLAN TO INCREASE ENERGY EFFICIENCY
• Energy-efficiency plan aimed at saving nearly 11,48 billion
euros and cutting greenhouse-gas emissions by 36,4 million
tons through 2020.
• The goal is to reduce Spain's dependence on foreign energy
at a time of sky-high oil prices.
• The plan is focused on generating savings in the transport
and housing sectors, which account for 40% and 17% of
energy consumption, respectively.
• 71 new initiatives and bolster another 29 that were already
in effect.
• Among the energy-saving initiatives for public buildings: an
energy certification program for the housing sector, tax
incentives for renovations that improve energy efficiency,
introduction of renewable energies and the replacement of
traditional lighting with LED lightbulbs.
