Energy efficiency and renewables
The sheer expected size of the renewables sector in Europe provides an indication of the scope for associated actions to optimize energy efficiency.
By 2010, the EU’s share of renewables in primary energy consumption is planned to increase from 6% at present to 12%. For electricity, renewables should rise from 14% to 21%. Energy efficiency will be an essential component in making renewable technologies affordable and competitive.
