Energy Strategy for the Basque Country 2020

Sustainable energy action plan for the Basque Country, approved by the Basque Government in December 2011.

Summary

The Energy strategy for the Basque Country 2020 consists of a series of lines of action divided up into three major areas: Energy consuming sectors, energy markets and supply and industrial technological development, which seek to advance along the road towards greater energy efficiency and supply security taken by the Basque Country since it first developed its own energy policy.

The Energy-Consuming Sectors area includes actions intended to change energy demand, either by reducing consumption levels, using alternative sources of supply, or using demand management to optimise the energy system.
The Energy Markets and Supply area takes in actions intended to improve the energy offer in terms of supply security and quality, cost competitiveness and sustainability.
Thirdly comes the last great area of action, technological and industrial development. This includes new opportunities for Basque industry to innovate in the latest energy technologies, in a context of increasingly global markets. This commitment also involves a new separate priority action area within traditional Basque energy policy, representing an additional contribution to sustainable energy development.

At the same time, within the lines thus defined a series of priority initiatives have been identified, which are in turn made up of a collection of specific actions oriented towards meeting the strategic targets.
