The document summarizes Georgia's first National Energy Efficiency Action Plan (NEEAP). The NEEAP outlines energy efficiency measures and budgets for 2017-2020, as well as targets for 2020, 2025, and 2030. It identifies key policy measures and sectoral measures to facilitate investment in energy efficiency. These include financing schemes, training programs, standards and regulations, and measures in sectors like industry, transportation, and energy. The achievement of energy savings goals depends on implementing an ambitious policy agenda, technical assistance, and available investment funds.

2. Key Aspects of NEEAP
 Based on Energy Efficiency Directive 2012/27/EU;
 In this NEEAP measures and budgets are described for 2017 -
2020, as well as longer term estimates - energy targets for
2020, 2025, and 2030.

 The achievement of savings is dependent
on three key factors:
Most important: a) The implementation
of an ambitious policy agenda for EE
b) The availability of technical assistance
for implementation
c) The availability of investment funds for
implementation
