Energy Sector Mitigation Policy /Program and Targets
Mitigation Policy /Programs
Targets & Assumptions
> Continued development of hydropower resources,
particularly in terms of advancing technical
design and sourcing funding for development of
identified sites
 Design and implementation of demand-side
management techniques to encourage better use of
existing distribution infrastructure, and Reduce
peak demand.
Promotion of renewable energy
> Improving distribution efficiency of the power
system through measures to reduce transmission
and distribution losses
Continuing to develop and promote uptake of
renewable sources of energy, particularly wind
and solar (where feasible).
Develop low energy investment plan
>
Improving energy efficiency by 20% by 2020,
Increasing electricity coverage /access to 35% of
households in 2015, 50% in 2020 and 80% by
2030;
With increase in rural electrification, paraffin
consumption is expected to come down from 30,
434 kilolitres (2014) to 25,000 kilolitres in 2020,
with a GHG saving of 12 Gg COe and 20,000
kilolitres in 2030 with a GHG saving 24 Gg
CO e in the BAU.
 Potential
reduction of transmission and
distribution loses from 2015 until 2030 by 0.5%
per annum (total of 7.5.0%)
Increase renewable energy sources by 200 MW
by 2020: 40MW from Solar (2017/2018); 35
MW from wind (2017); 125 MW from
hydropower (2025).
