EUR 8 million for small houses' energy efficiency
…50% and up to EUR 40 000 in other areas. The support for the partial renovation of the building is 20% and up to EUR 20 000 euros nationwide, and for the installation of solar panels and the renovation of the roof or facade 30% and up to EUR 20 000 euros.An application round for support for the installation of solar panels in apartment buildings is to be open in April 2022. In order to receive support, in addition to the installation of solar panels, the roof or facade under the panels must be repaired to increase energy savings.

Recovery, transformation and resilience plan / Urban and rural agenda (I) / Energy efficiency actions in agricultural operations
…have to achieve a reduction in final energy consumption of at least 10%. This programme will favour energy savings, improving performance and reducing energy consumption in the agricultural sector. The management of the aid will be carried out by the autonomous communities. Eligible actions are for example related to improving the energy efficiency of irrigation facilities, and the use of renewable thermal energy in agricultural operations. The actions involving an increase of the water consumption or the irrigable surface will not be eligible. Overall, EUR 563 million will be invested towards more energy efficiency in this sector over 3 years…

National Program for Rational and Efficient Use of Energy
…use of energy in the production, transportation and distribution, storage and consumption of energy, attempting to achieve the highest sustainable development with the available technologies, minimising the environmental impact and optimising energy conservation and cost reduction. The program covers several policy areas including short-term policies: focusing on education and awareness on energy consumption, lamp replacement in households, increasing energy efficiency of appliances; and long-term policies: focusing on industry, commerce, buildings, cogeneration, public lighting and transport. Several sub-programs have been developed according to each sector. The program aims to decrease electricity consumption by 6% and energy savings of…

Complex strategy development and state legal decisions for improving energy efficiency in 2015
…(VII. 21) Government Decision on the Energy and Climate Awareness Raising Action Plan: The purpose of the Action Plan is to spread the awareness of energy and climate. Therefore, the Plan of Action accordingly identifies the achievable within a short time - the majority by 2020 - governmental measures which are capable of significantly to contribute to changing attitudes towards climate change and energy efficiency. It concerned the following five main areas: (1) energy efficiency and energy conservation; (2) renewable energy use; (3) transport energy saving and reduction on emission; (4) a resource-efficient and low-carbon-intensity of economic and social…

Expert System for an Intelligent Supply of Thermal Energy in Industry (EINSTEIN)
…intended within the project are: - developing and disseminating an EINSTEIN auditing tool kit, which guides the user through auditing, data processing, and elaborating, designing and quantitatively evaluating alternative solutions to integrate heat recovery with the most cost competitive heat and cold supply technologies; - training of energy auditors and industrials; - realising auditing campaigns; and - disseminating activities at the EU level. In Austria, the project forms part of the Austrian energy efficiency programme for small and medium sized enterprises, which seeks to achieve yearly energy savings of up to 60 Mio kWh, or carbon dioxide savings of up to 45,000 tonnes.

Joint Communication to the European Parliament, The Council, The European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the regions. EU External energy engagement in a changing world
The European Union (EU) launched this joint communication to propose actions to reduce climate change and address the current energy crisis. The EU states that the green energy transition is the only way to simultaneously ensure sustainable, secure and affordable energy worldwide. To achieve these objectives, the EU external energy policy will aim to:strengthen its energy security, resilience and open strategic autonomy by diversifying the EU’s energy supply and boosting energy savings and efficiency;accelerate the global green and just energy transition to ensure sustainable, secure and affordable energy for the EU and the world;support Ukraine and…

China
China’s growing energy needs are increasingly met by renewables, natural gas and electricity. The scale of China’s future electricity demand and the challenge of decarbonising the power supply help explain why global investment in electricity overtook that of oil and gas for the first time in 2016, and why electricity security is moving firmly up the policy agenda. That said, cost reductions for renewables are not sufficient on their own to secure efficient decarbonisation or reliable supply.
Between 2019 and 2024, China will account for 40% of global renewable capacity expansion, driven by improved system integration, lower curtailment…- Overview

Bangladesh
In Bangladesh, electricity is available for 85% of the population, up from 20% in 2000. Gas accounts for the majority of the country’s electricity production, even though wind, hydropower and solar PV shares are growing. Bangladesh has also implemented energy policy incentives towards the deployment of renewables.

South Africa
Coal is the mainstay of the South African energy system, meeting around 70% of installed power generation capacity. The 2019 Integrated Resource Plan however sets out a long-term diversification of the power mix by 2030 and moves towards lightening the carbon footprint of the energy sector while meeting growing energy demand and ensuring a socio-economically just transition. While the options to diversify the country's electricity mix appear diverse, the affordability of electricity supply looms as a key concern and a potential constraint on diversification. The structure of consumption and of spending on electricity is skewed towards higher…
