• To promote the application of 32/2006/CE Directive on "Energy End-use efficiency and Energy Services", in European Union countries.
  
  
• To reduce by 30% the energy consumption in European cities participating by 2020, and those adhering cities to the objectives of the project.
  
  
• To promote market development of Energy Service Companies (ESCO / ESE) in Europe.
  
  
• To favor the transfer and reproducibility of the efficiency model shown in the 6 cities participating in the project, to other European cities.

     In the project framework, each participating city has developed its own "Energy Efficiency Action Plan" (EEAP) to achieve the savings targets set in 2020.


     For that other European cities can develop their own EEAP following the approach defined in "Minus 3%"; has developed a "Method in which "step by step is details the procedure.
