Coordinating the energy policy

The Ministry of the Economy coordinates the country's energy policy by means of the Directorate General for Energy. 

The government's energy policy has three main aims: 

• to maintain and reinforce the security of the supply 

Luxembourg is mainly dependent for its energy supply: almost all energy is provided via imports. In order to guarantee energy supplies and avoid too great a geographical dependence, the government is working to diversify energy supply sources. 

• to ensure competitive energy prices 

The government strives to ensure competitive energy prices for all economic stakeholders. 

• to ensure a sustainable energy supply 

The government is working to support the development of domestic renewable energy supplies. In addition, it aims to promote energy efficiency and energy savings.
