Development of Energy Efficiency  Indicators in Russia / N. Trudeau  and I. Murray. Paris : IEA, Working Paper,  Jan 2011, 55 p.http://www.iea.org/papers/2011/Russia_En_Eff_Ind.pdf"Russia is sometimes referred to as "the Saudi Arabia of energy  efficiency"; its vast potential to reduce energy consumption can be  considered a significant "energy reserve". Russia, recognising the  benefits of more efficient use of energy, is taking measures to exploit  this potential. The president has set the goal to reduce energy  intensity by 40% between 2007 and 2020. In the past few years, the IEA  has worked closely with Russian authorities to support the development  of energy efficiency indicators in Russia, critical to an effective  implementation and monitoring of Russia’s ambitious energy intensity and  efficiency goals. The key findings of the IEA work with Russia on  developing energy efficiency indicators form the core of this report." (© IEA)
