gas rather than coal or nuclear in new power generation facilities; (3) early closure of coal power plants that have been in operation for over 30 years by 2022; (4) recovering unused thermal energy from power generation and industry and utilizing it as a new energy source; and (5) using the renewable portfolio standard, which mandates that power generation entities with capacity above 500 MW supply a certain proportion of electricity generation from new and renewable energy or purchase corresponding renewable energy certificates. All the actions were reported as ongoing. Under the renewable portfolio standard, the share of new and renewable energy in 2019 was 6.4 per cent of the total power generation, which was 0.4 per cent higher than the target, and a total of 4,363 MW renewable energy was newly supplied, which is nearly double the target. Also in 2019, the total electricity generated from new and renewable energy sources in the country reached 51,122 GWh, which represents 8.7 per cent of the total electricity generated.
