In late 2007, the Spanish government released an Energy Efficiency Action Plan for 2008 to 2012 to assist with implementation of the Spanish Energy Efficiency Strategy (E4) 2004-2012. The action plan responds to the conditions of high external energy dependence, energy demand growing at a faster rate than GDP, the need for energy demand management tools and the importance and difficulty of complying with the 2010 target of 12% of energy being sourced from renewables. As with the earlier 2005-2007 plan, this action plan involves collaboration with the autonomous regions, in terms of the design and implementation of measures.
