        …line with stakeholders that should be involved in the accomplishment of the action and their potential role, technical resources needed and timeline (short or medium term). The roadmap on energy efficiency briefly mentions the energy efficiency goals, potential and sectorial scenarios as well as some sectorial barriers to untap the full energy efficiency potential. Regarding the action lines, these are divided by final energy consumption sectors and five categories based on the type of intervention: regulation, institutional framework, capacity building and human resources, markets and financing, and research, development and innovation. The final energy consumption sectors are Buildings, Industry, Transport…

        EU Directive (2012/27/EU)

        The UK has set its indicative national energy efficiency target on the basis of final energy consumption. This means the indicative target is 129.2 MTOE on a net calorific basis, which would amount to an 18% reduction (28.5 MTOE) from the UK's 2007 business as usual project projection for 2020. This indicative target has been set taking into account the overarching European goal of reducing energy consumption by 20% relative to 2007 PRIMES projection of 2020 demand.

        Energy Efficiency Obligation

        In 1998, Uruguay introduced energy efficiency policy in order to create 437 GWh of energy savings per year, achieving an incremental energy savings of 0.94% per year in comparison to total fuel consumption. Electricity, natural gas and all other "burnable fuels" used in all sectors are covered in this policy. The obligated parties include energy utility companies. The utilities are required to allocated 0.13% of sales to energy efficiency. There are no specific eligible energy efficiency measures. Energy savings are certified by an IPMVP certified professional.

        Programme for Rational and Efficient Use of Energy and Other Forms of Non-Conventional Energy (Resolution 180919)

        The Indicative Action Plan 2010-2015 seeks to promote the rational and efficient use of energy and to encourage the participation of non-conventional forms of energy in the national grid and in non-connected regions.The RE (non-conventional energy sources - FNCE) related parts of the plan state the 2015 and 2020 targets for RE. The target for national grid-connected regions is 3.5% and 6.5% and for non-connected regions is 20% and 30% for 2015 and 2020 respectively.
