Programme for State Support of Non-traditional and Renewable Energy Sources

The 1997 Programme for State Support of Non-traditional and Renewable energy Sources established a target to meet 10% of domestic energy demand with non-traditional and renewable energy by 2010. This was complemented by sector specific programmes, such as the 1997 comprehensive Programme to Build Windmills to 2010, establishing a goal of installing 190 MW of wind capacity by 2010. An earlier strategy, developed in the mid-1990s, envisaged installing 766 500 m2 of solar collectors by 2005 and 8 737 900 m2 by 2010.
