• The Europe 2020 strategy aims to achieve rapid, sustainable and inclusive growth in European Union (EU) countries. In terms of climate change and energy, one of the objectives for 2020 is 20% increase in energy efficiency. The policies adopted in Spain in this area should be framed within the Europe 2020 strategy, so one of the goals in our country concerning environmental issues should be to increase energy efficiency. With this work, the methodology known as "Data Envelopment Analysis" (DEA) is applied to observe energy efficiency in Spain since the implementation of the Europe 2020 strategy in the EU. Once the relevant values have been obtained, it is concluded that that the expected results are not really being achieved, so our policies should be aimed at improving this aspect.
