Energy Reform and Access Project (2003-2011)
The World Bank project among other objectives aimed to:
accelerate access to electricity in a sustainable and commercially viable manner
eliminate barriers that impede the development and use of renewable energy in particular solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, and develop micro-hydro and other renewables' capacity and social services and
increase Mozambique's capacity access to modern energy. At end of project 68,270 households were connected. -

Energy Efficiency Obligation
In 1995, Korea introduced energy efficiency obligations to attain 331 GWh of energy savings per year, achieving an incremental energy savings of 0.20% per year in comparison to total fuel consumption. Electricity, natural gas and district heating used in commercial, industrial, educational, and residential sectors are covered in this policy. All public utilitie are oblidged to follow this legislation. Eligible energy efficiency measures include the use of energy efficient products. Verification of actual energy savings must be conducted by an independent third party.

The plan also identifies stationary fuel cells as a critical renewable resource, projecting a rated capacity of 3,947 MW by 2036. By 2036, the government foresees a significant expansion of zero-carbon combustion, targeting 47.4 TWh of electricity generation from hydrogen and ammonia, representing 7.1% of the national energy mix. To support these technologies, the plan initiates the opening of a dedicated transaction market for low-carbon power sources like hydrogen and storage systems.

Certificates can be traded via Polish Power Exchange. In the case, obligated parties to not achieve the required amount of savings, penalties of up to 10% of the revenue can be imposed. There are two secondary regulations: one is a detailed list of projects to improve energy efficiency which was elaborated and approved in 2016 in order to give away white certificates. Second regulation from 2017 specifies scope of an energy efficiency audit.
