Energy Efficiency and Endogenous Energies (E4) Programme
The former E4 Programme (Energy Efficiency and Endogenous Energies) launched in 2001, established goals concerning the exploitation of renewable energy sources (RES) for power (and thermal) generation, which were consistent with the EU Directive on renewable electricity (2001/77/CE), under which Portugal has to aim to deliver 39 % (including large hydro) of its gross electricity consumption by 2010. The current energy policy framework is in line with the E4 Programme and, for some RES, the Portuguese government has set even more ambitious targets for 2010, namely: wind power: 3 750 MW (currently ~300 MW) photovoltaics: 150 MWp (currently ~2…
