3. 1261/2015. (IV. 30) Government Decision on the adoption of the Hungarian National Reform Programme 2015: In line with the European 2020 Strategy in which it was announced a new national energy efficiency target: 92 PJ primary energy savings, which means 73 PJ final energy consumption savings.

4. 27/2015. (VI. 17) Parliament Decision on the National Environmental Programme for the period of 2015-2020: The main goals of the Programme related to energy efficiency are: (1) in the next period - in the context of climate change - must pay particular attention that the increase in income does not increase the household energy consumption simultaneously. (2) To develop an efficient, green and competitive economy. (3) To achieve a 10% overall energy savings based on environmental considerations. (4) To reduce the motorized traffic transportation needs, and facilitate the personal, non-motorized forms of transport. (5) To reach a greener the tax system with reduction of environmentally harmful subsidies. The Government presents the summary report to the Parliament in every two years.

It concerned the following five main areas: (1) energy efficiency and energy conservation; (2) renewable energy use; (3) transport energy saving and reduction on emission; (4) a resource-efficient and low-carbon-intensity of economic and social structures; (5) accommodation.

7. 1601/2015. (IX. 8) Government Decision on the III. Hungarian National Energy Efficiency Action Plan: This action plan is a general report based on the requirements from the 2012/27 EU Energy Efficiency Directive (EED). This is a complex strategy about the energy efficiency situation in Hungary and the main directions of development and the proposed measures relating to the transposition of EED.
