Energy environmental priorities:
STRATEGIC THRUST 4: Adopt balanced adaptation and mitigation measures to strengthen environmental conservation and promote sustainability of natural resources. STRATEGIC THRUST 5: Consolidate the energy policy incorporating management practices that enhances renewable energy (RE) and energy effi ciency (EE).
Pollution control action plans:
KEY ACTION 1: Conduct systematic reviews and harmonise existing legislation, policies and plans, taking into account and proposing relevant balanced adaptation and
mitigation measures, to address the following: [...] • Energy security; [...]
KEY ACTION 2: Identify and recommend options towards low carbon
economy for the following sectors:
• Energy security; [...]
KEY ACTION 12: Integrate balanced adaptation and mitigation measures into policies and plans on environment and natural resources.
KEY ACTION 13: Incorporate measures, including mobilising financing and technical assistance, into the following areas: [...] • Energy security; [...]
KEY ACTION 19: Promote RE and EE for power generation through:
• Burden sharing between government and power producers;
• Establishment of EE and RE targets/standards;
• Inclusion of RE in generation mix by power producers; and
• Promotion of RE generation by small and independent developers including local communities.
KEY ACTION 20: Promote RE and EE to reduce GHG emissions in the transportation sector through:
• Enforcement of new vehicles engines with higher fuel efficiency;
• Increase usage of hybrid engines and electric vehicles;
• Development of an effective, efficient, integrated affordable public transportation system;
• Property and township development that allows movement by cycling, walking and public transport;
• Promotion of water transportation; and
• R&D on higher fuel efficiency and alternative fuel.
KEY ACTION 21: Promote and increase EE in industrial sectors through:
• Review and establishment of legal mechanism for EE application in industries;
• Provision and promotion of technical and financial assistance or incentives to the industry using EE technology and processes;
• Conduct of technology needs assessment;
• Conduct of energy audit in industrial and building sectors; and
• Adoption of EE practices by new industries.
KEY ACTION 22: Promote construction of green buildings in commercial / institutional, industrial and residential sector through:
• Application of low or zero energy concept in the design and construction of new buildings;
• Retrofitting of efficient ventilation and cooling systems as well as lighting systems;
• Energy conservation practice in buildings;
• Retrofitting existing buildings to include EE features and generate RE; and
• Development of a green building index.
KEY ACTION 23: Empower local communities in basic RE maintenance, especially in rural electrification including mini and micro hydroelectric schemes.
