One of the priority requirements of Directive 2006/32/EC on energy end-use efficiency and energy services is the obligation related to definition of Indicative Energy Savings Target. Indicative Target is a planned saving of final energy consumption in Montenegro, which is expressed in absolute terms in GWh or in equivalent unit and in percentages relative to the average final energy consumption.
In order to meet this obligation the Government of Montenegro adopted a Decision on Indicative Energy Savings Target on April 2011 (O.G. of Montenegro 48/2011). Indicative Target is set in an amount of 58.9 ktoe or 9% of final primary energy consumption in Montenegro. Indicative Target is established for the nine-year period 2010-2018.
Indicative target is calculated on the basis of data on final energy consumption for the five-year period before 2010, and according to the Methodology developed by the Ministry of Economy, following recommendations made by Directive 2006/32/EC (O.G. of Montenegro 18/2011).
