        Energy Saving Programme 2006-10

        On 2 February 2006, the government of Belarus approved the republics energy saving programme for 2006-2010. The programmes primary aim is to reduce GDP energy intensity, and replace fuel and energy imports by local resources.
        Part of the programme involves renewable energy sources. The use of local, waste, alternative and renewable energy resources is to increase by 1.7 million tons of fuel equivalent. Special attention is paid to the development of alternative and renewable energy resources.
        The programme determines the amount of fuel-energy resources and their distribution among the national state governmental bodies, state-run organisations and…

        Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Energy Policy

        One of the many objectives of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Energy Policy is to diversify the energy sources through the increased use of renewable energy in a manner that assures optimization with other sectors. The policy focuses on the promotion of energy efficiency (EE) and renewable energy (RE).  An agreement that took place in 2013 approved a target for the CARICOM of 20%, 28% and 47% for the years 2017, 2022 and 2027 respectively.

        IEA Technology Collaboration Programmes (TCPs)

        The IEA TCPs support the work of independent, international groups of experts and industries to lead programmes and projects on a variety of energy technologies and related issues. A number of IEA TCPs foster cooperation on social dimensions of clean energy, including the Users TCP, providing insights on the design, social acceptance and usability of clean energy technologies, and the Wind TCP, examining social acceptance of renewables infrastructure. The Users TCP focusses on the vital role of people in energy technology systems and sees user-centred energy systems as critical for delivering socially and politically acceptable energy transitions. For example…

        Energy Conservation Frontrunner Plan

        …The Energy Conservation Frontrunner Plan sets a strategy to achieve this energy efficiency target, through strategic planning in both the medium- and long-term. It establishes a plan to develop energy conservation technology and the development and dissemination of a benchmarking approach, so that the energy conservation effect can be quantitatively verified. Based on this plan, the Energy Conservation Technology Strategy was formulated with the prospective target of recognising energy conservation technology as Japans source of industrial competitiveness in the world, and achieving the respected status of the "Worlds No.1 Country of Energy Conservation" by overcoming resource and environmental…

        geothermal: 420 MW by 2017,
        solar: 1800 MW,
        biomass: 540 MW
        The long-term Turkish energy strategy will mainly be met by the development of installed capacities as follows:
        wind: 10.000 MW by 2019,
        hydroelectric: 32.000 MW by 2019,
        geothermal: 700 MW by 2019,
        solar: 3000 MW,
        biomass: 700 MW.
        2023 targets determined at 2010-2014 Strategic Plan are still valid and they are the ultimate long term goals.
        Also as a long-term target; by the end of 2019 proportion of renewable energy resources for commercial heat generation is targeted as 3%
