  • Generation of electricity from biomass: 4,75 GW for biomass from sugar cane and 1,3 GW from urban waste and other biomasses.
    Energy | Fixed level target | Target year: 2030 | Base year: 2015
  • Increase the installed capacity of hydroelectricity to 168 GW by 2030.
    Energy | Fixed level target | Target year: 2030 | Base year: 2015
  • Reduction of non-technical losses in the electricity distribution at a rate of 1,000 GWh per year over the next ten years, which currently are around 22,000 GWh per year. This will represent a reduction in energy wastage of 400 GWh per year. On average, around 25% (100 GWh per year) of this energy will no longer be produced by thermo power plants. by 2017 against a 2007 baseline
