Ente Vasco De La Energía
As an energy agency, Ente Vasco de la Energía proposes the Basque
Government's energy strategies based on its technical knowledge. It also
participates actively in developing those strategies both through its
own projects and active collaboration with local and international
agents. As a result, the Basque energy system has been in continuous
development for more than 40 years, doing away with the use of coal for
energy uses and reducing the relative share of petroleum products by 20
percentage points. Natural gas and renewable energy have been of key
importance in this change and today the Basque energy transition marks a
commitment to continuing along this path and guaranteeing a sustainable
energy future.
