Rural Development Programmes 204-2020: Key facts & figures FOCUS AREA 5B: Energy efficiency. Introduction Focus Area (FA) 5B is designed to increase efficiency in energy use in agriculture and food processing. The main support provided by RDPs takes the form of aid to physical investments in, for example, in new or upgraded of machinery. This can be complemented with measure that enhance the knowledge and skills of the relevant stakeholders to improve efficiency in the use of energy. The target is to mobilise 3 billion EUR of public and private investments to contribute to a more efficient use of the energy. Rural Development Programmes addressing 5 out of 2 RDPs TARGET Total investment for energy efficiency (Public and private, mill. EUR) >200 mill EUR Examples of expected achievement (EU-28) 2.8 billion EUR of total investment (public and private) for energy efficiency 30 200 mill EUR <30 mill EUR FA not activated Target not used 0.8 % of the planned total public expenditure is allocated to 33 000 No of beneficiaries trained in issues related to the 20 000 No of beneficiaries adviced in issues related to the RDPs that do not address FA 5B: BE ( out of 2), CZ, DE (8 out of 3), ES (9 out of 8), FI ( out of 2), FR (4 out of 28), HR, IT (7 out of 22), LT, LU, NL, PL, RO, SE, SI, SK, UK ( out of 4).
2. Expected achievements Total investment for energy efficiency (mill. EUR) This section provides information on the common target indicator defined for the Focus Area and examples of programme-specific target indicators defined by some RDPs to complement the common targets indicators.

4. Intervention logic at EU level In 204-2020, measures within Rural Development Programmes can contribute to several Priorities and Focus Areas in a flexible manner. The following charts provide an indication of the most commonly used measures to address, as well as an indication of the number of RDPs in which these measures are selected. For a full overview of the Measures activated under FA 5B see section 6.

In this fiche, public expenditure means total public expenditure (= EAFRD + Member States matching funds + any national top-ups). Due to rounding, there may be small discrepancies between some figures presented. Data includes programme modifications until March 206. Out of the 8 Rural Development Programmes only the 2 national and regional Programmes have been considered because National Frameworks and National Rural Network Programmes do not allocate budget on Measures. Please note that data and calculations provided do not include M20 (Technical Assistance), or M8 (Complementary payments to Croatia).
