Programme for Electric Mobility in Portugal
Under the National Energy Efficiency Action Plan, in order to launch and promote electric mobility in Portugal and its underlying objectives, the Cabinet Resolution no. 20/2009 published 20 February 2009 created the Programme for Electric Mobility in Portugal. This programme contributes to the national targets of reducing energy dependence and combating climate change (also contributing to meet the objectives of Kyoto Protocol), by promoting the replacement of fossil fuels and the consequent reduction of emissions in the transport sector. The programme calls for the popularization of the electric vehicle, through the development of a service model that allows any…

National Energy Efficiency Action Plan: Portugal Efficiency 2015
…applied to all these sectors will lead to electricity savings of 4,777 GWh in 2015, corresponding to a 7% reduction in national electricity consumption. In terms of energy intensity, the implementation of the present plan will allow Portugal to strengthen its convergence with the current European energy intensity average. Transport Sector targets and measures: -Reduce by 20% the number of light-goods vehicles over 10 years old; -Reduce average CO2 emissions for new cars sold annually by 20% (from 143 g/km in 2005 to 110g/km); -Ensure that 20% of the vehicle stock is equipped with monitoring equipment…

The Netherlands
The Netherlands aims to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050, and numerous measures have been introduced to support achievement of this goal. A competitive auctions process awards subsidies to renewables, hydrogen and carbon capture, based on avoided CO2 emissions. An offshore wind roadmap is driving rapid deployment and aims for 11.5 GW of capacity by 2030, while strong innovation programmes support deployment of key decarbonisation technologies. Electricity from solar has experienced an impressive growth, with the Netherlands ranking among the top countries in the world for installed PV capacity per capita. The Netherlands will need to closely monitor…

Poland
Poland’s energy system has seen progress on energy transition, despite its reliance on domestic hard coal and lignite. For example, Poland has one of the fastest growing solar PV markets in the European Union and has also seen a strong uptake of heat pumps. Poland is pushing to become a major player in offshore wind, aiming for at least 3.4 GW of capacity by 2030. However, stronger efforts are needed across all sectors to accelerate energy transition and Poland would benefit from greater electricity interconnections with the rest of Europe.
