Summary of energy efficiency measures

Spain implements different energy efficiency measures, which can be found across all energy sectors, where the IDAE plays a key role on the administration and granting of aid. The Public Sector in all levels (National, Autonomous Communities, and Municipalities) are committed to improving the energy efficiency of their public administrations´ buildings and in outdoor lighting installations. Among other programmes, the PAREER II programme grants subsidies and soft loans to households and other public and private actors to undertake renovation actions in buildings that improve energy efficiency standards. The National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan (NIECP) recognises the 32.5% energy efficiency improvement target for 2030 approved by the EU, however, with the measures to be implemented in Spain, it is expected to achieve a 39.5% improvement in 2030 (NIECP). The cumulative final energy savings target of the NIECP is equivalent to 36,809 ktoe, calculated from 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2030 (NIECP).
