Thailand: Strategic Plan for Renewable Energy Development

Thailand: Thailand’s National Energy Policy and Development Plan

Philippines: International Action Programme (IAP), Doubling the Generating Capacity from Renewable Energy Sources by 2013

To increase renewable energy-based capacity by 100% by 2013, increase efficiency and substantially contribute to the protection of the environment and contribute to the economic growth of the countryside through rural electrification.

Date Implemented: 2003-2013

Status: Voluntary

Philippines: The Philippines Energy Plan (PEP)

Pakistan: Renewable Energy Initiatives

Malaysia: Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (Ninth Malaysia Plan 2006-2010)

The Ninth Plan strengthens the initiatives for energy efficiency and renewable energy put forth in the Eighth Malaysia Plan that focused on better utilisation of energy resources. An emphasis to further reduce the dependency on petroleum provides for more efforts to integrate alternative fuels.

Date Implemented: 2006-2010

Status: In Force; Framework Policy

China: National Energy Strategy

China: Medium and Long-Term Energy Development Plan Outline (2004-2020)

China: 11th Five-Year Plan

The programming period is divided into the Eleventh Five Year Plan period running to 2010 and the period from 2010 to 2020. The energy conservation objectives and the focus of development by 2010 are essentially planned, whereas the objectives stated for 2020 are proposed. In its “alternative oil strategy,” which is part of the Five-Year Plan, Beijing has called for a doubling in renewable energy generation to 15% of the country’s needs by 2020, including major increases in wind power and biomass.

China: Ride the Wind

Rural electrification through renewables (wind)

Status: Voluntary

Targets: The goal is to reduce production costs and increase the localization percentage of wind turbines from 40% to 70% by the end of the Tenth Five-Year Plan period.
