Programme for Energy Efficient Economy

In 2001, Russia launched a Federal Targeted Programme for an Energy Efficient Economy for the period 2002-2005, with an outlook to 2010. It sets targets and outlines measures for energy efficiency improvements in different sectors of the economy. It was to be financed partially by the federal budget, partially by municipal/regional budgets and other sources.

The key targets set in the 2001 programme were to reduce energy intensity by 13.4% (total final energy consumption/GDP) below 2000 levels by 2005, increasing to a 26% reduction below 2000 levels by 2010.
