There are over 60 actions identified in the National Energy Efficiency Action Plan 2007-2020, which I launched for public consultation on 3 October. A range of Departments and agencies are involved in the roll-out of the Action Plan which will be finalised and published following the consultation process. Delivering on our target of reducing energy demand across the economy by at least 20% by 2020, requires a fully integrated approach.

To ensure this coherent approach, I will establish a high level group comprising the key delivery Departments and agencies. The Group will oversee progress and report regularly on implementing the Action Plan and achievement of the national energy efficiency targets across all sectors.
