The cumulative final energy savings due to the implementation of energy efficiency (EE) and renewable energy sources (RES) measures in the residential sector amounted to 1,059 GWh by 2017, and the cumulative CO₂ emissions reduction was 146 kt. Compared to the year before, the reduction in energy consumption in 2017 was 10 % and in the CO₂ emissions 41 % higher. In 2017 the cumulative final energy savings were 7 % above the annual indicative target, and the cumulative CO₂ emissions reduction was behind the annual indicative target by 39 kt or 21 %. Despite the fact that the cumulative final energy savings exceed the target values, they still lag behind the savings planned in the National Energy Efficiency Action Plan (NEEAP).
