10. One of the key requirements of the Energy Efficiency Directive was that Member States submitted to the Commission, by 30 April 2013, a legally non-binding energy efficiency target for 2020 (Article 3). The UK did this in accordance with the Commission's deadline. The UK indicative national energy efficiency target for 2020 is based on the DECC energy and emission projections from October 2012 and gives an indicative target of final energy demand in 2020 of 129.2 MTOE (in net calorific value excluding non-energy uses), a reduction of 18 per cent relative to a baseline projection from 2007. In primary energy consumption terms the target is 177.6 MTOE, equivalent to a 20% ( MTOE) reduction on the UK's 2007 business as usual projection. The UK's target reflects the ambitious policy package on energy efficiency, which builds on the early action that was already in place by 2007.
