[1]Denmark has just embarked upon a much expanded programme which is expected to produce energy savings equivalent to 1.2% of present Danish consumption. The nature of the energy saving target will change from lifetime (the original Danish Electricity Saving Trust methodology) to annual energy saving targets. There will also be many more obliged players (over 100) than the smaller numbers in UK, Italy and France
