Luxembourg's integrated national energy and climate plan (PNEC) is an important element of the Grand Duchy's climate and energy policy. It sets out the national climate and energy objectives for 2030, as well as the policies and measures needed to achieve them. The measures apply to six sectors, namely: 1.. . The PNEC defines the national climate objectives for the coming years, which are compatible with the objectives of the European Union. The. . The "Energie- a Klimaplang fir Lëtzebuerg" presents both reinforced and new measures. The plan includes a total of 197 different measures, and. . Since local authorities are important partners in implementing climate objectives at local level, "Klimapakt 2.0 " encourages and supports. . Since 2021, fossil fuels, whether road or heating fuels, have been subject to a CO2 tax in order to curb and reduce their consumption. Initially set.

Luxembourg aims to cover over a third of 2030 electricity demand with renewables, mostly through variable renewable energy (VRE) from PV and wind generation. The share of VRE generation in imported electricity is also expected to increase significantly. Taken together, these factors will require substantial investment in electricity infrastructure.
“The IEA is ready to support the government’s efforts to achieve these goals, starting with the recommendations contained within this report.” The report notes that Luxembourg faces challenges in achieving its energy objectives. The country’s energy supply is dominated by fossil fuels, and carbon dioxide emissions are rising since 2016.
This is especially true for the transport sector, which in 2017 accounted for 54% of energy demand and 65% of non-ETS GHG emissions. 1 Luxembourg’s low cost of energy and the high purchasing power of its consumers are also a barrier, as they limit interest to invest in renewables and energy efficiency.
The low costs of energy in Luxembourg and the high purchasing power of its residents represent a significant barrier to achieving the energy sector targets. Low taxes result in low electricity, natural gas and heating oil prices providing little incentive to invest in renewables and energy efficiency.
The IEA report notes that Luxembourg is undertaking actions on several fronts to ensure a secure supply of electricity. The country is aiming to increase domestic electricity generation to cover one-third of national demand by 2030, mostly from solar PV and wind.
The draft NECP contains a goal for 49% of all vehicles registered in Luxembourg to be electric vehicles (EVs) by 2030. Luxembourg is supporting e-mobility with subsidies for purchasing EVs, investment in a national EV charging network and by encouraging a shift from private vehicles to electrified public transportation.
