What are Luxembourg's Energy Policy Priorities?

Since the 2014 IEA review of Luxembourg’s energy policies, the country has made progress on its energy sector priorities of ensuring security of supply, promoting energy efficiency, increasing the use of renewable energy and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

What is Luxembourg doing about energy security?

Luxembourg is also actively cooperating with neighbouring countries on energy security and is planning to strengthen its electricity grid to support additional imports and domestic renewable generation.

What is Luxembourg doing to ensure a secure supply of electricity?

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.

Does Luxembourg need a new electricity infrastructure?

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.

Why does Luxembourg need an internal electricity market?

It is therefore largely dependent on energy imports and thus on a functioning European internal market for electricity and gas. Luxembourg is therefore aiming to rapidly achieve an internal electricity market with intensive cross-border competition between suppliers and tap in to the flexibility potential of consumers.

Does Luxembourg need a national energy and Climate Plan?

Summary Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of 11 December 2018 on the Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action requires the Member States of the European Union to submit an integrated national energy and climate plan. This draft integrated national energy and climate plan defines the scope of Luxembourg’s energy and climate policies up to 2030.
