Medium and Long Term Development Plan for Renewable Energy
…tpy of biofuels;
the Plan establishes the principal of biofuel development not affecting food security, thus emphasis is placed on developing non-grain biofuels and using land less amenable to crop cultivation to raise specific biofuel crops, such as tung trees and sorghum
In addition, the plan generally establishes that the government will adopt a variety of measures to encourage and stimulate the development and use of renewable energy. These include preferential ficial and tax policies, including specialised funds subsidising the development of renewable energy sources, and the reduction or elimination of taxes for certain qualified renewable energy development activities. -

Promote energy conservation and energy efficiency (Policy no. 3, Maldives National Energy Policy and Strategy 2010)
…conservation of energy will benefit the country through a reduction in energy imports which directly translates into savings for the counrty's foreign exchange reserves, reduced dependence on imported fossil fuels, increased energy security and reducing GHG emissions. On the supply side, measures are needed to increase efficiency particularly in the production and distribution of electricity. Conservation efficiencies in some islands are low and in others distribution losses caused by poorly designed and maintained systems are high. Reducing these variations through regulatory intervention will conserve more energy. On the demand side, the level of awareness, our lifestyles and outlook need…

…India-Brazil-South Africa (IBSA) summit was held in October 2007. At this summit, the three countries reached agreement to work together in the promotion of nuclear energy, clean energy technologies and other renewable energies and in the endorsement of climate change mitigation. In a presidential declaration, the countries noted agreement to pool resources to ensure a secure supply of safe, sustainable and non-polluting energy to meet global demand, particularly in developing countries. The declaration indicated that cooperation would include clean coal technologies and renewable energies such as biomass and innovative ways to transfer, develop and commercialise clean energy.

The energy focus of the Just Energy Transition Plan is centered on a transformation of Serbia's energy sector, moving away from a reliance on coal toward a low-carbon system based on renewable energy sources and energy efficiency. It aligns with national goals to achieve a 33.6% share of renewable energy in gross final consumption and a 45% share in electricity production by 2030 is repeated.
