Energy Efficiency Obligation
In 2010, China introduced energy efficiency obligations to attain 14 578 GWh of energy savings per year, achieving an incremental energy savings of 0.04% per year in comparison to total fuel consumption. Electricity used in all sectors are covered in this policy. The obligated parties include government-owned grid companies. Obligated grid companies must reach a savings a 0.3% of electricity sales in the previous year and a load reduction by at least 0.3% of maximum load in the previous year. There are no specific eligible energy efficiency measures. 100% of savings can only be claimed if…

2nd National Energy Efficiency Action Plan
The UK's 2nd Energy Efficiency Action Plan (EEAP) brought together in one document all the then current and planned policies and measures the government and the Devolved Administrations have in place to improve energy efficiency. This updated the previous EEAP of 2007 and fulfilled the UK's obligation under the Energy End-Use Efficiency and Energy Services Directive (ESD) to report on progress towards an overall national indicative energy savings target of 9% by 2016. It was superseded by the 2014 Energy Efficiency Action Plan under the EU Energy Efficiency Directive.
