Under Directive 2009/28/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources, Portugal submitted a National Renewable Energy Action Plan (NREAP), setting the 2020 national targets for the share of energy from renewable in gross final energy consumption (overall target), also on RES sources consumed in electricity production (RES-E), transport (RES-T) and heating and cooling (RES-H&C), as well as their penetration paths, in accordance with the implementation pace of the measures and actions envisaged for each of these sectors, considering the effects of other policies related to energy efficiency on energy consumption. In its NREAP, Portugal committed to attaining the targets set in the Directive, in particular the overall target of 31% of energy from renewable sources in gross final energy consumption and 10% in final energy consumption within the transport sector.
