Portuguese government to measure government buildings electricity consumption?

According to an article (in portuguese) from Público the portuguese government should start measuring electricity consumption in all government buildings.

This is a proposal from the socialist party (in government) that recommends the government and all public organs to post on the internet electricity consumption and energy efficiency and reduction plans. Some municipalities in Portugal have energy agencies that are presently doing a great job on awareness and energy efficiency and electricity consumption reduction (check E-Nova, the Lisbon agency on energy and environment, Areana Tejo, Oeinerge).

“O Estado é seguramente o maior consumidor energético em Portugal, e tem por isso de haver uma maior fiscalização sobre o seu consumo, para que tenha um comportamento exemplar”, disse Duarte Cordeiro [deputado do PS] em declarações à Lusa.
