"The government's ambitions for renewable energy and the related national
targets are fully commensurate with the European Union's energy policy
objectives and the targets addressed to Ireland under the Renewable Energy
Directive. Ireland's energy efficiency ambitions (20% by 2020) as set out in
the National Energy Efficiency Action Plan are duly reflected in the NREAP,"
the plan states.
