General conditions of the aids and applications The Basque Government has presented the aid programme "Less Emissions Vehicles" within the Industrial Defence Group, in response to the challenges facing the Basque automotive sector in the current global context of tariff war. With an initial investment of EUR 5 million, this program not only accelerates the decarbonisation of road transport, but also strengthens a key industry for the Basque Country, generating demand for the purchase of new vehicles. The "Less Emissions Vehicles" programme will provide support of up to EUR 3,500 per vehicle replacement, ensuring that the modernisation of the Basque motor vehicle fleet boosts both the sustainability and competitiveness of the sector. The new aid programme puts Euskadi at the forefront of Europe, with one of the EU’s most comprehensive and advanced programmes, and represents a determined commitment to technological neutrality towards decarbonisation of road transport and complementary to the existing commitment to electric cars through the MOVES programme. The initial phase of the programme is expected to replace 2,000 passenger cars and vans with more efficient and less polluting ones (CO2 emissions below 125 g/km and 150 g/km respectively). In total, emissions of more than 24,000 tonnes of CO2 equivalent to those produced by 16,000 households will be avoided.

PROGRESS OF ENERGY DATA 2024 The industrial sector was the sector with the highest electrical demand (53%), followed remotely by services (22%) and domestic use (16%). Gas consumption for conventional uses (industry, domestic, services and others) has increased by 3.6 per cent. Motor fuels continue to rise, with an increase of 4%.

Conference on Energy Saving Certificates CAE In its first year, the system has performed 38 certifications with an energy saving of 114,000 MWh. It is a key tool for boosting competitiveness in industrial sectors, and advancing the Energy Transition.  Applications accounted for 47 per cent in the industrial sector, 37 per cent in the residential sector and 16 per cent in the tertiary sector or services.

ADID MANAGEMENT PROVISIONAL BALANCE.2024. The EVE has supported actions that have resulted in energy savings of 69,500 MWh, i.e. equivalent to the annual consumption of more than 12,400 homes. The new subsidised facilities amount to 81.5 MW of new renewable power in the Basque Country including solar photovoltaic, wind and thermal through biomass and aerothermia, among others. In the chapter on the promotion of electric mobility, the aid amounted to EUR 23,3 million, which in turn led to investments in the car market of EUR 114,9 million, encouraging the renewal of combustion cars by other electric motor vehicles or plug-in hybrids.

Aiarako Ekiola will be located in Amurrio and will produce 1,550 MWh/year, sufficient to meet the energy needs of about 700 families. Environmental SMEs will also be able to join the project.

BBG’s activity ensures the supply of natural gas in the Atlastic Arc. It supplies 200% of the Euskadi gas demand and 16% of the state gas demand. Gas consumption in the Basque Country was 25,772 GWh in 2024.
