Description of support scheme
EEOS obliges energy suppliers to support projects that deliver energy savings in the domestic and non-domestic sector. Under the scheme, a specific target is assigned to every energy supplier. The supplier should carry out specific actions that could assist in reaching this target. The annual scheme target for the period 2018-2020 was set at 700GWh/ y.
