Spain

Balanced structure with the growing contribution of renewable energies and natural gas.
In the last three years, both global and electric intensity revealed a downward trend possibly
associated with the increase of electricity prices which has taken place since 2008.

Sweden
Regulations in especially transport and building sectors
The shift away from petroleum to mainly bio fuels continues
Biofuels constitute more than a fifth of Sweden’s energy consumption
Taxes are levied on electricity, fuels, and emissions of carbon dioxide
The tax level varies according to whether fuel is used for heating or as motor fuel. There are also
variations depending on whether energy is used by households, industry or in the energy
conversion sector.
Romania
Promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources
Propose a framework which enables the implementation of policy measures aimed at reducing
energy consumption, especially in the buildings sector.
Slovakia
Regarding the transport sector, during the peiod between 2000 and 2010,the index of energy
efficiency of transport improved by 14% driven mainly by decreasing the energy intensity in road
and rail transport.
The labeling of domestic appliances has started in 2002 and the awareness of the population
about this information means is already significant. In transport the highway toll, motor vehicle
tax and excise tax on motor fuels could help to conserve energy and in some cases to switch over
from road to rail, however no significant effect of these has been observed so far.
