The National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) is a ten-year integrated document <a href="https://ec.europa.eu/energy/topics/energy-strategy/national-energy-climate-plans_en" target="_self">mandated by the European Union</a> to each of its member states in order for the EU to meet its overall greenhouse gases emissions targets. Following feedback from an EU-wide assessment of draft NECP submissions, EU members are required to submit updated final NECPs for the period 2021-2030. The Energy and Climate Plan addresses all five dimensions of the EU Energy Union: decarbonisation, energy efficiency, energy security, internal energy markets and research, innovation and competitiveness.
The plan establishes the following central objectives: 1) Decarbonisation: reduction of GHG emissions, increase the share of renewable energy in the gross final energy consumption (by cooperating with other EU Member States; 2) Energy efficiency: new fossil-free single-purpose and residential buildings, developing renewable heating networks, preventing traffic through massive expansion of public transport and electromobility; 3) Energy security: reduce dependence on electricity imports by expanding renewable energy, intensify regional cooperation in the field of security of electricity and gas supply; 4) Internal energy market: no further development of national gas infrastructure, combining the sectors of electricity, heat and transport by means of sector coupling; 5) Research, innovation and competitiveness: implementation of a nationwide energy transition 'zero carbon', promote resilient urban and spatial development in conjunction with urban/spatial planning, Luxembourg to become an attractive location for climate solutions providers and start-ups. Other measures include a carbon tax increase. Compared to the 2020 NECP, the renewable energy share (at gross final energy consumption) target for 2030 has been increased from 25% to 37%.
