Based on national targets for the 2030 horizon, the country aims to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 45% from 2005 levels, showing its commitment to fighting climate change. To further support its efforts, it aims to improve energy efficiency by 35% and interconnection networks by 15%, which will help reduce overall energy consumption and reduce the country's dependence on non-renewable sources.
