        Rules for supervision and administration of central SOEs energy conservation and ecological environmental protection (draft for public consultation)

        …announced specific timelines but more are expected to do so following the approval of the 14th Five-year Plan in March 2021. Draft rules classify state owned enterprises (SOEs) based on their energy consumption level and emissions level of main pollutants, and offer preliminary assessment criteria. Under those, SOEs are to:  - control their energy consumption level;- improve their energy efficiency;- reduce pollutant emissions;- control GHG emissions; - actively engage in actions to peak CO2 emissions and achieve carbon neutrality;- build targeted action plans;- increase their budgets and research to deploy low-carbon technologies;- develop and utilize renewable energy sources.

        Polish Energy Policy until 2030

        …November 2009 the Council of Ministers adopted Polish Energy Policy until 2030. The Policy has been prepared within the Ministry of Economy. Thisdocument outlines a long-term strategy for the entire Polish energy sector, fuel and energy demand forecasts. The Policy also outlines a comprehensive programme of policies and measures to be implemented by 2012. The Strategy addresses the most important challenges of the Polish energy sector both from a short- and long-term perspective. The measures outlined in the strategy are designed to offer solutions to these challenges, and their implementation will help satisfy a growing demand for energy…

        Ireland White Paper Transition to a Low Carbon Energy Future 2015-2030

        …is intended to guide the direction of Irish energy policy from now until 2030. At its heart is a commitment to transform Ireland into a low carbon society and economy by 2050 and reduce the country’s fossil fuel dependency. This ambitious vision for Ireland’s energy system envisages a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from that sector by 80-95% relative to 1990 levels by 2050. The White Paper identifies the long-term strategic importance of diversifying Ireland's energy portfolio and largely decarbonising the energy sector by 2050.
        The renewable energy is an important part of that strategy…

        The Strategy to Combat Energy Poverty

        The Strategy expands the reach of existing energy efficiency schemes and commits the Government to developing and piloting new measures to find more effective ways to focus energy efficiency efforts on those most at risk of energy poverty. It also puts in place the structures and the accountability to ensure that the challenge is effectively addressed at every level of Government and public service. Accompanying the strategy is an assessment of the level of energy poverty in Ireland using the objective methodology.

        World Bank loan for Colombia's energy transition

        The World Bank Board approved USD 1 billion in financing for Colombia to help the country accelerating its energy transition, promoting sustainable land use, and enhance climate resilience and adaptation. The loan has a 20-year term with a three-and-a-half-year grace period. The aid will support a reform program to assist Colombia’s moves to lower its carbon emissions, particularly in the energy and transport sectors. It aims to increase non-conventional renewable energy production output and develop a green hydrogen industry in the country.
