Nauru Energy Efficiency Action Plan 2008-2020
Energy Efficiency Action Plan 2008-2020 consists out of two sets of goals and strategies: short and long-term.
Long-term goals:
1) To alleviate poverty by improving citizen’s access to electricity and thus better living conditions
2) Reduce amount of imported fossil fuels though installations of affordable, efficient and “green” technologies and implementation of energy efficiency and conservation measures.
Short-term goals include:energy audit, installation of solar refrigerators in medical institutions for vaccine storage and conducting educational programmes and workshops increasing local awareness on energy efficiency and renewable energy. -

New National Energy Plan 2008-16
A national energy plan to 2016 was announced in May 2008. The plan predicts an annual growth of 1.4% in energy demand. The plan allots an investment of EUR 9.22 m in improving electrical infrastructure and of EUR 10.2 m in gas infrastructure. It calls for increased energy production capacity and diversifying the energy mix, by increasing wind- and gas-fired capacity and a reduction in other fossi fuel and nuclear generation. Extra effort to support renewables is also promised.

High-level dialogue explores key measures for funding investments in Ukraine’s energy security
…partners to achieve its energy goals.During the event, energy ministers from many different governments – along with leaders from financial institutions and the private sector – spoke about financing mechanisms to support these efforts. They emphasised that spending from both domestic and international sources is necessary and discussed how public funding can be leveraged to catalyse investment from the private sector.Other high-level participants from government, development banks and the Ukrainian and global energy sector spoke about topics such as the physical protection measures that would bolster Ukraine’s energy security, how the country’s energy system can be further…

Energy Efficiency Strategy
The Energy Efficiency Strategy 2004-2012, whose basic objective will be to improve the energy intensity ratio, was approved by the Delegated Commission of the Spanish Government for Economical Affairs. To carry out the Energy Efficiency Strategy, six inter-ministerial working groups were created, corresponding to the areas of energy transformation, transport, building, tertiary and residential, industry and public services. Another group on institutional co-ordination was created that will describe the horizontal objectives, the relations with the autonomous communities (Spanish regions) and the local institutions, as well as the development of the objectives with institutional character. The Institute for…

13th FYP for the Development of Building Energy Efficiency and Green Building
…urban areas by 2020, and that more than 60 percent of existing residential buildings in urban areas across the country should be retrofitted to energy-efficient buildings. To achieve these goals, the Plan outlines the following main areas of action:
1) raising energy conservation standards for buildings;
2) accelerate implementation;
3) steadily increase the energy performance level of existing buildings; and
4) integrate renewable energy to buildings.
The Plan also encourages architect firms, consulting companies and energy service companies to provide one-stop shop services including from planning, design, energy consumption simulation, Energy Management Systems, energy audits, green performance assessments… -

Energy Strategy 2050
Energy Strategy 2050: The ES2050 aims at further boosting renewable energies in order to reach the following indicative electricity generation targets: 4400 GWh (excluding hydro) by 2020, 11400 GWh (excluding hydro) by 2035; 37400 GWh average yearly hydro production by 2035. The main levers are a - time-limited – funding increase (by increasing the grid surcharge cap for electricity) and increased CO2 levy proceeds (which are partly allocated - with cantonal co-funding - for heating from renewable sources in buildings).
Keeping overall renewable funding under control has been an important policy goal since the introduction of a feed-in tariff[1] in… -
