        Funding under the Energy Saving Strategy and Action Plan

        The Energy Conservation and Energy efficiency Improvement Action Programme (decision 1107/1999) has an annual budget of Ft 1 billion. In 2000, measured in terms of total final consumption savings, the Programme was thought to be successful, and the government increased its annual budget to Ft 5 billion in 2001. The Action Programme estimates that Ft 200 billion (€ 820 million) is needed to finance this programme over its duration, of which Ft 50 billion will come from the state. Support for the residential sector mainly involves grants of up to 30% for new and additional investments. Other sectors are…

        Minnesota Energy Efficiency Obligation

        …introduced an energy efficiency obligation for all sectors except transport, covering electricity and gas. Obligated parties include investor-owned utilities and retail suppliers. The obligation seeks to achieve an electricity savings target in 2015 of 1.5% and anatural gas savings target 0.5%based on last year's consumption. The largest electric utility has a 2% savings goal due to using a nuclear power plant; electricity utilities need to spend 0.2% of gross operating revenue on low-income customers and gas utilities need to spend 0.4% of gross operating revenue on low-income customers. Eligible energy efficiency…
