…to reach a total nominal installed capacity of 124,485 MW, with 7,388 MW specifically from renewable sources, and improve power plant efficiency to 41%. To support infrastructure, the bill mandates a reduction in transmission and distribution losses to 12% and introduces a specific budgetary mechanism where 2.5% of performance credits can be allocated to construction and investment service costs for transmission and distribution networks under companies like Tavanir and the Thermal Power Plant Holding Company. Additionally, it transitions the sector toward a market-based model, requiring 60% of electricity transactions to take place on the energy exchange.

…Energy Decree, the action programme Energy2000 aimed to stabilise total fossil fuel consumption and CO2 emissions at 1990 levels by 2000. Increased use of renewable energy featured prominently in different parts of the Energy2000 programme. The federal Energy2000 programme rested on three main pillars: voluntary measures to promote energy efficiency and renewables, a favourable legal environment and dialogue between parties. The implementation of Energy2000 rested with ?marketing departments,? one of which dealt specifically with renewable energy. The work of this department concentrated in three areas with associated Action Networks: Swissolar is a grouping of five utility and private solar energy…
