Within the energy sector the largest outlay proposed was on sustainable transport, which would receive Eur8.6 billion, including Eur3.6 billion for green buses and trains.
A total of Eur5.9 billion was earmarked to increase renewables to meet 2030 targets, including Eur1.1 billion for "agrovoltaics", the dual development of land for agriculture and solar photovoltaics.
The objective in this latter department was to reach 2 GW of capacity, generating 2.5 TWh per year and offsetting the emissions generated within the agricultural sector.
The proposed investment forms part of an overall Eur192 billion plan, of which Eur59 billion was earmarked for ecological transition. The plan is to be presented to the European Commission for approval by April 30.
