The Intelligent Energy – Europe programme is run by the Executive Agency for Competitiveness and Innovation (EACI) on behalf of the European Commission, and seeks to bridge the gap between EU policies and how they impact on the ground.

The Intelligent Energy – Europe [IEE] programme works to make Europe more competitive and innovative while, at the same time, helping it to deliver on its ambitious climate change objectives.

By 2020, the EU is committed to:

• 20% less greenhouse gas emissions
• 20% better energy efficiency
• 20% share of renewables

By improving energy efficiency and encouraging the wider uptake of new and renewable energies, the IEE programme aims to boost actions which will help achieve the EU’s targets, including measures to:

• foster energy efficiency and the rational use of energy resources
• promote new and renewable energy sources and to support the diversification of energy sources
• promote energy efficiency and the use of new and renewable energy sources in transport such as biofuels
