The Basque Government first created its own energy agency, the Ente Vasco de la Energ\u00eda (or EVE) to lay the foundations for an energy policy that has been grounded, to different degrees at different stages, on energy efficiency, diversification of energy sources and promotion of renewables.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Since then Ente Vasco de la Energ\u00eda has been in charge of developing projects and initiatives in line with government policies.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
