A Healthy Environment and a Healthy Economy Plan - Clean and affordable transport and power
…affordable transport include to: - Invest an additional $964 million over four years to advance smart renewable energy and grid modernization projects. - Invest an additional $300 million over five years to advance the government’s commitment to ensure rural, remote and Indigenous communities that currently rely on diesel have the opportunity to be powered by clean, reliable energy by 2030. Update August 2021: Under the "zero-emission vehicle infrastructure program" with a budget of CAD 280 million until 2024 EV chargers have been installed across CanadaUpdate July 2022: The purchase incentive program was extended until March 2025 with an additional…

Rajasthan Solar Policy
…Moreover, the policy will promote the installation of solar PV and solar thermal plans for direct sale to Discoms of Rajasthan with a maximum capacity of 200 MW by 2013 and an additional 400 MW by 2017. Eligible projects will also be selected through auctions. The state will promote off grid and decentralised solar applications and hybrid systems in replacement of diesel based generators. The solar policy also facilitates the installation of solar power producers targeting solar power trade with third party or other states. In fact, Rajasthan aims to become a major issuer of solar Renewable Energy Certificates within…

Luz para Todos (Light for All) Electrification Programme
…economically efficient option for about 17,500 localities with small populations in the Amazon territory. A further 2,300 villages with about 110,000 buildings could be equipped with a mini-grid based on photovoltaics or biomass sources. In addition, 680 medium-sized communities could be supplied on the basis of hybrid systems, and 10 larger communities could be provided with power generation based on conventional diesel generators or hybrid systems. By the end of 2006, six applications for schemes using renewable energy were approved within the programme, all of them solar home systems (SHS), amounting to 3,071 installations.

Commercial Transportation Energy Efficiency and Fuels Initiative
…the framework for efficiency programs in marine power, and for shippers and freightors. A further component of the CTEEF is the Commercial Transportation Energy Efficiency Rebate Program, which is designed to encourage the on-road transportation industry to use equipment to reduce engine idling and cut greenhouse gases. This program, a joint effort between the Government of Canada and the suppliers of qualified equipment, will reduce the production of GHG emissions by cutting the amount of diesel fuel used in the idling of commercial vehicle engines. The program encourages the use of proven, off-the-shelf technology to reduce idling.

THE 10TH FIVE-YEAR PLAN FOR ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA (2001-2005)
…a circular determined that VAT collected for using municipal solid waste for power generation would be refunded back to the producer. In 2003, the VAT for biogas production was also reduced to 13%.tax and subsidization policy designed to promote hydropower and new energy industries. For instance, production value-added tax (VAT) will be changed to consumption VAT.Renewable Targetsthe Tenth Five-Year Plan emphasizes the commercialization of PV and wind technologies, diesel and battery systems, bioelectricity, geothermal energy, and fuel forests in rural areas.-Inclusive of small hydropower, wind, and solar energy projects -Wind farms are planned for Xinjiang…

Tariff shield & exceptionnal measures
…subsidy ("Indemnité inflation"), meant to compensate the rise in energy expenses, and sent to around 38 million low-income beneficiaries in December 2021.Energy vouchers of EUR 100 for gas and electricity to low income households allocated in December 2021. The scheme has been completed with a EUR 100-200 heating subsidy, sent in November 2022.Fuel subsidy ("Remise carburant") from April to end of July 2022 for the purchase of gasoline, diesel ( both discounted at EUR -18 cts), off-road fuel, fishboat fuel, LPG and NGV. The discount has been extended until end 2022, decreasing to EUR 10 cts…

National Electrification Scheme
…two practical programmes, namely: The Self-Help Electrification Programme (SHEP) for communities within 20 km of existing 11/33 kV grid lines; the Specific Strategy for remote off-grid and island communities, providing financial support to initial PV products investment. The National Electrification Scheme also supports research and development in the field of renewable energies, and promotes renewable rural systems mainly solar, wind, biogas, small and mini hydro. Research will be financed by the Energy Fund, a national support mechanism funded by a fixed levy of USD 0,06/litre on gasoline, kerosene and diesel fuel products produced in Ghana.
