The National Directorate of New and Renewable Energy is in charge of framing policies to stimulate the use of renewables in the country's energy mix.

The country adopted the Strategy for New and Renewable Energy Development (PNENR) 2011-2025 in 2011, with the aim of developing renewables for electricity generation. The PNENR determined targets for renewables, including a doubling of the hydropower capacity (to over 4 GW) and the elaboration of potential studies for marine and geothermal energy.

CO₂ Fuel Combustion/CO₂ Emissions

In 2012, the Government adopted the 2013-2025 National Strategy for Climate Change (ENMC). It aims to reduce vulnerability to climate change and improve the population's living conditions. To achieve the objectives in the short term (2015-2019), the first NCCAMM action plan is being updated. In this Plan adaptation will be included as the National Adaptation Plan (NAP).
