        Revised Energy Conservation Act (2008)

        …Regulatory Expansion in the Commercial Sector Before the revision, only large scale factories and workplaces were targeted to enforce the energy management. The revision expanded this site-specific requirement to a company-wide one; a company consuming above a certain amount of energy must implement energy efficiency measures for all of its factories and workplaces. This also expands coverage beyond manufacturing sites, to offices and franchise companies running convenience stores. A new regulation was also added, requiring that a board member be appointed to be in charge of energy management for the whole company. b) Sectoral Approaches as National Regulation …

        National Hydrogen Strategy

        Cumulative (2020-2050) investment needs of USD 760-1020 million (including renewables) to achieve the 2050 hydrogen demand (including exports). Electrolyzer capacity of 2.8-5.2 GW by 2030 and 31-53 GW by 2050. Exports represent 70-80% of hydrogen demand by 2050. The largest uncertainty in the domestic demand is the transport sector where hydrogen (derivatives) could reach up to 20% of the energy demand for some transport modes. Hydrogen use could reduce 10-20% of the national GHG emissions in 2019. Job creation could reach 26 000 direct jobs and 130 000 indirect jobs in 2050

        Libya Renewable Energy Strategic Plan 2013-2025

        The Plan aims to achieve 7% renewable energy contribution to the electric energy mix by 2020 and 10% by 2025. This will come from Wind, Concentrated Solar Power, photovoltaic and solar water heating.
        The breakdown by technologies will be as follows proposed mix will be as follows:

        By 2020: 600 MW wind, 150 MW CSP, 300 MW solar PV, 250 MW solar water heating
        By 2025: 1000 MW wind,  400 MW CSP, 800 MW solar PV, 450 MW solar water heating

        UK regulator approves energy network investment plan

        British energy regulator Ofgam was given the greenlight for a GBP 40+ billion (USD 53.4 billion) investment program by the country’s energy network companies between 2021-2026 for a stronger, greener, and fairer energy system. It includes:

         

        - GBP 30 billion upfront funding for a clean and reliable energy system

        - GBP 10 billion for future green energy projects, notably expanding the grid to deal with a planned rise in installed offshore wind capacity to 40 gigawatt (GW)

        - GBP 132 million package of support measures for vulnerable consumers

        Irish Energy Efficiency Obligation

        In 2012, the Irish government introduced energy efficiency obligations which have an energy savings target per year between 2014-2020 of 550 GWh of primary energy per year. These obligations cover all sectors and fuels, energy suppliers that sell more than 600 GWh per year and importers of road transport fuel.

        Eligible energy efficiency measures include a pre-approved list of measures with deemed energy saving values for residential (including energy poor) sector. In the non-residential a wide range of energy efficiency measures are eligible, assessed on a case-by-case basis with savings determined on a metered or…

        National Energy Plan 2024

        The National Energy Policy Council (NEPC) announced intent to finalize the new National Energy Plan (known as NEP 2024), which contains the updated Alternative Energy Development Plan (AEDP).  The government included a consumption target of hydrogen fuel for on-road transportation at 4 kiloton of oil equivalent (ktoe) by 2037 in the new AEDP 2024.  The plan is to commercialize hydrogen fuel by 2035 if it is commercially feasible.
