To achieve that, it sets 2020 targets for each Member State and a minimum indicative trajectory leading up to that year. In Spain, the target means that renewable sources must account for at least 20% of final energy consumption by 2020 - the same as the EU average - together with a contribution of 10% from renewable sources in the field of transport by that year. The Directive calls on every Member State to draw up and notify a National Renewable Energy Action Plan (NREAP) for the period 2011-2020 to the European Commission (EC) by 30 June 2010 with a view to complying with the binding targets laid down in the Directive. As the Directive indicates, that NREAP must conform to the national action plan template adopted by the European Commission via the 30 June 2009 Commission Decision establishing a template for National Renewable Energy Action Plans under Directive 2009/28/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council. For its part, Royal Decree 661/2007 of 25 May 2007 regulating activities related to electrical energy production under special regimes, provides for the drafting of a Renewable Energy Plan for implementation during the period 2011-2020 (REP 2011- 2020). The National Renewable Energy Action Plan (NREAP) presented here meets the requirements and adheres to the methodology of the renewable energies Directive and conforms to the template for national renewable energy action plans adopted by the European Commission. The 2011-2020 REP which is concurrently being drafted, will include some of the essential elements of the NREAP as well as additional analyses not included in the latter and a detailed sectoral analysis which will contain, inter alia, the outlook for technological progress and expected cost trends. The 2011-2020 REP has already commenced the Strategic Environmental Assessment process in accordance with legislation in force in Spain. Naturally, if these additional analyses conducted in drawing
