In 24 December 2010 Council of Ministers adopted National Energy Saving Programme for 2011-2015. The main objectives of the Programme are to:
Deployment alternative and renewable energy sources;
Increase of energy efficiency in all sectors;
Reduction of energy losses on energy transport;
Greater usage of combined heat and power cycles;
Support of research and advancement in energy technologies;
Limit GHG emissions;
The goal is to reduce energy intensity within 5 years of national GDP by 29-30% in comparison to the 2010 baseline.
Targets:
Reduction in heat loses by 8%;
Increase co-generation of electricity and heat at least up to 55% by 2015;
Reduction of energy consumption by 15-20%;
achieved by 2015, the construction of at least 60% of energy efficient residential buildings with specific consumption of thermal energy for heating and ventilation of less than 60 kWh;
commission additional hydroelectric capacity of 103 MW;
new bio-gas capacity of 39 MW;
increase wind capacity up to 300 MW;
increase the volume of other types of alternative energy (solar energy, geothermal resources, municipal solid waste, crop residues, etc.) estimated up to 100 thousand tons of oil equivalent. IEA/IRENA Global Renewable Energy Policies and Measures Database © OECD/IEA and IRENA, [November 2020]
