Renewable in % Electricity Production
The National Development Plan (2014-2030) sets a target of 60% of renewables in total energy consumption by 2030. In order to achieve this objective, the country authorizes private investment in renewable energy. IPPs are allowed to sell renewable electricity directly to companies or electricity distributors. ANDE will have to bid to buy this electricity.
