Based on assumptions of economic and population growth and, it is expected that the country can and, as the case may be, cumulatively mitigate about 40 MtCO eq 2in the period 2020 - 2025. in the reference year; The contributions associated with the theme of mitigation count on the implementation of actions, measures, projects, policies and programmes, which include the sectors of Agro-livestock and Sustainable Land Use, Waste Management, Energy Security and Sustainability of Industries. Mozambique is recognized as one of the countries that has been most dedicated to and developed national systems for scaling up emission reductions from deforestation and forest degradation and increasing carbon sinks (REDD+), as evidenced by the fact that it is one of the first countries to receive payment for results under the Forest Carbon initiative with the World Bank. Thus, for Mozambique REDD+ was included in this updated NDC 1 as a key means of implementation to operationalise mitigation ambitions. Finally, Mozambique proposes to carry out a series of mitigation actions that in aggregate expect to achieve a reduction of GHG emissions by about 40 million tCO2 eq between 2020 and 2025. These reductions are estimates with a significant level of uncertainty and will be updated with the results of the BUR to be available in 2022. It should be noted that, it was decided not to include as part of the mitigation contribution of this updated NDC 1 the removals and emissions from the commercial-scale tree planting (afforestation) component, due to the uncertainties of how such emissions and any emission reductions achieved by the activities of this component will be accounted for under the Paris Agreement. c) In the case of strategies, plans and Mozambique reserves the right to apply this paragraph in the future, including to adjust the information contained in item 1b) above. measures referred to in Article 4, paragraph 6 of the Paris Agreement5 or policies and measures incorporating nationally determined contributions where paragraph 1(b) above is not applicable, Parties shall provide other relevant information; d) Target in relation to the baseline With the implementation of the identified actions, measures, projects, policies and programmes, Mozambique expects to reduce its GHG emissions by about 40 Mt CO2eq between 2020 indicator, expressed numerically, and 2025.

PLANNING PROCESSES: (a) Information on the planning processes AFollowing the ratification of the Paris Agreement by Parliament in 2017, the then Ministry of Land, Environment and Rural Development submitted to Camões Institute for Cooperation the Party has undertaken to prepare and Language of Portugal the project "Roadmap for the Implementation of Mozambique's Nationally Determined Contribution - NDCMoz "with the aim of designing the roadmap its nationally determined contribution and, for the implementation of Mozambique's NDC, contributing to the implementation and success of the Paris Agreement, through a country with a low carbon and resilient development if available, on the Party's implementation and to the pursuit of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In parallel, the country benefited from the World Bank and NDC Partnership initiative through which it intended to support plans, including, as appropriate: the Government to prioritize the operationalization of Mozambique's NDC targets in the sectors of: agriculture, energy, water, transport and early warning system, aligning them with government policies and priorities. These two initiatives were harmonised to cover all sectors of the Mozambique NDC 2020 - 2030, and enabled a broad consultation process with stakeholders, including business sectors, provinces and civil society representatives to prioritise the actions to be included in the NDC and the format in which they should be presented. The implementation of these two initiatives resulted in the formulation of the Mozambique NDC 2020 - 2025, the Mozambique NDC Operationalisation Plan 2020 - 2025, which details the actions of the NDC. On the other hand, Mozambique has benefited from the support of the NDC Partnership which has resulted in the formulation of the NDC Partnership Plan that identifies both the project and capacity building needs for the implementation of NDC. 54 Update of the First NDC MOZAMBIQUE 55 These documents were approved by the Council of Ministers at its 38th Session, held on 11 December 2018. However, some actions of the Mozambique NDC 2020 -2025 and the respective Mozambique NDC Operationalization Plan 2020 - 2025 lacked relevant information for the process of measuring/monitoring, reporting and verifying both the actions and the support. On the other hand, there was a need to have updated inventories, as the estimated contributions in NDC 1 were based on the National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report 1995 - 2004. It is in this context that Mozambique has submitted in the two calls made by the NDC Partnership - Climate Action Enhancement Package (CAEP I and II), requests for assistance to adjust its NDC to the Transparency Modalities, Procedures and Guidelines. Under this support it was possible, amongst other results, to update the NDC budget and identify actions whose implementation is conditioned to international climate support and those that are not conditioned; formulate project ideas for priority actions conditioned to international climate support; formulate Mozambique's Long Term Low Carbon Development Strategy 2020 - 2050; update energy sector statistics; integrate NDC into planning and budgeting processes; detail NDC actions; formulate National Adaptation Plan for the Health Sector; develop Local Adaptation Plans; strengthen gender sensitivity in Mozambique's NDC actions; and, design terms of reference for developing emissions factors for the energy and waste sectors. Other initiatives that contributed to the improvement of Mozambique's NDC are: (i) the Initiative for Transparency in Climate Action - ICAT which supported in the formulation of the Strengthened Framework for Transparency including capacity building of technicians; and, the project to formulate the First Biennial Mozambique Transparency Report (PBTRM). (i) Domestic institutional arrangements, Since the approval of the ENAMMC, the Government has been strengthening the institutional framework in order to improve the coordination and implementation of climate change actions public participation and engagement with including the reporting process established in the UNFCCC. It is in this context that in 2020, the Ministry of Land and Environment was created, with the following competencies, in the area of local communities and indigenous peoples climate change, relevant to the implementation of the NDC: in a gender sensitive manner; 1. To propose the enactment of legislation, policies, development strategies and plans conducive to reducing vulnerability, building resilience and adaptive capacity to climate change, as well as promoting low carbon development and mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions in the context of sustainable development; 2. To promote and coordinate the implementation of the commitments assumed in the scope of the UNFCCC and Agreements, with emphasis on the Nationally Determined Contribution and other instruments that the country ratifies in the context of climate change; 3. Disseminate climate change issues with an emphasis on financial, technological and capacity building opportunities; 4. To coordinate and ensure the timely submission of reports required under the implementation of the Convention and signed Agreements; 5. Monitor, oversee and evaluate climate change adaptation and mitigation actions including support received and report on the status of implementation These competences are attached to the National Directorate of Climate Change which has in its structure the departments of adaptation and mitigation in the Ministry of Land and Environment. Considering the cross-cutting nature of climate change and the need for the involvement of state and non-state actors in both the formulation of national climate change response instruments and their implementation, including biennial reporting and review commitments, monitoring to support the production of national communication and regular updating of the NDC, the Inter-Institutional Group on Climate Change was established, composed of representatives from the public and private sectors and civil society relevant to the implementation of adaptation and climate risk reduction and mitigation and low carbon development actions including cross-cutting actions (capacity building, technology development and transfer, financing, awareness raising education, etc.). The members of the GIIMC have the responsibility to: • Represent the sector in the national climate change coordination body ensuring harmonization of national climate change actions and their sectoral integration • Report on the implementation of climate change actions in the sectors/areas they represent including challenges and needs encountered and • To technically approve the instruments, reports and other documents formulated in the context of climate change. 56 Update of the First NDC MOZAMBIQUE 57 It is important to mention that for the elaboration of Local Adaptation Plans, multi-sectoral teams have been created at provincial and district level that support local communities in the process of assessing their vulnerability and identifying and prioritising adaptation measures including the identification of potential local development partners. On the other hand, the Ministry of Land and Environment has established the holding of a National Climate Change Conference every two years as a forum open to public participation to, among others, share information, experiences and good practices in the area of climate change; promote education and public awareness on issues related to climate change; and, promote the dissemination and discussion of issues relevant to climate change. The First National Conference took place this year with the participation of actors from central, provincial and district levels and the second Conference will take place in 2023, the year in which the country will be preparing its First Biennial Transparency Report. (ii) Contextual issues, including, The Republic of Mozambique is a country located in the southern hemisphere, on the southeast coast of the African continent. It has an area of 801,590 km²2 of land and about 13,000 km² inter alia, as appropriate: of internal waters. The eastern part of the country is bathed by the Indian Ocean and has a coastline of approximately 2,700 km². Administratively, the country is divided into 11 Provinces. The provinces are currently divided into 154 districts which, in turn, are subdivided into 419 local administrative districts called Postos Administrativos. In addition to these subdivisions, a) National circumstances, such as there are 53 municipal autarquias, located in the main cities and towns throughout the country. Along the coast there are numerous islands, such as the archipelago of Quirimbas in the geography, climate, economy, sustainable province of Cabo Delgado, the Island of Mozambique and the islands Goa and Sena in the province of Nampula, the archipelago of Bazaruto in Inhambane, the islands of Inhaca, Portugueses development and poverty eradication; and Xefina in the province of Maputo. Data from the Anuário Estatístico 2015, estimates that Mozambique had about 25.7 million inhabitants, with about 52% being women and 48% men. According to the results of the last b) Best practices and experience related population census conducted by the National Institute of Statistics in 2017 indicate that the Mozambican population was 27.9 million, and the percentage of women and men remained to the preparation of the nationally the same. INE population projections indicate that by 2025 Mozambique will have about 34.1 million inhabitants, thus projecting a net population expansion of over 6 million inhabitants. determined contribution; With regard to the distribution of the population by age group (table below), particularly between 2017 and 2025, there is a decrease in the population aged between zero and 14 years old; a growth throughout the period in the population aged 15 - 64 years old as well as a growth in the population aged 65 years old and over. c) Other contextual aspirations and AGE GROUP 2017 2020 2025 priorities recognised when joining the 0 – 14 45% 46% 43% Paris Agreement 15 – 64 52% 51% 53% 65+ 3% 3% 3% The average life expectancy is 54 years, being 51 years for men and 56.5 years for women. Portuguese is the official language of the country, however, there are more than 40 languages spoken throughout the national territory. Agriculture is the mainstay of the Mozambican economy, employing more than 80% of the country's economically active population (PEDSA, 2011). Furthermore, it is the sector with the highest average share in GDP, with more than 20% of the total. Manufacturing is the second sector with the highest contribution to GDP (13%), followed by trade and transport and communications services with an average of 10% each. The national economy has considerable potential in the primary sector due to the existence of various natural resources capable of serving as a basis for creating a competitive advantage in various productive sectors. For example, ICF International (2012) and Biggs (2012) have documented that Mozambique has one of the world's largest reserves of natural gas (estimated at 250 trillion cubic feet) and coal (estimated at 25 billion tons). Other natural resources include forests, grasslands, inland waters, 2,400 kilometres of coastline and minerals (FAO, 2006). The main challenge is the development of industries that enable their sustainable exploitation and transformation. Diversification of the national economy is another challenge for more stable, comprehensive and sustainable growth. After several years of growth of around 7%, the national economy experienced a slowdown in 2016, growing by only 3.8%, down from 6.6% and 7.4% in 2015 and 2014, respectively. This decline was mainly due to the drought registered in the central and southern areas of the country, and the floods in the central and northern regions, having negatively affected the agriculture sector and electricity production, among other international and national conjunctural factors. 58 Update of the First NDC MOZAMBIQUE 59 The climate of Mozambique is diverse. Due to its location in the inter-tropical zone, manifestations of the humid tropical, dry tropical, semi-arid tropical as well as altitude-modified climate can be found throughout the country. Of these, The most predominant climate is the humid tropical with some pockets of the semi-arid tropical, characterised by having two very distinct seasons, one hot and rainy from October to April and the other cold and dry from May to September (Gelcer et al., 2018). Average rainfall is variable from south to north. The north receives the highest averages, ranging from 800 mm to 1200 mm. In the centre and south, they are comparatively lower compared to the north and vary from the coast to the interior. The annual averages in the two regions range from 1000 mm to 600 mm and 800 mm to 300 mm, respectively. In Mozambique, the energy sector is experiencing a remarkable growth in the last two decades, both in terms of production and consumption of electricity and natural gas. However, despite this increase, the majority of the population (77%) continues to depend on forest biomass, such as firewood and charcoal, to meet its energy needs because it lives in rural areas and the electrification of the country, which is estimated at around 34%, is still below expectations. However, the government has been making efforts to reverse the current scenario through rural electrification, which is estimated to average 120 000 new connections per year over the last 15 years (MTA, 2021). Currently, the national electricity generating capacity is estimated at 2905 MW. Of these, 1045 MW are for domestic consumption and 1,860 MW are for export to neighbouring countries, indicating that the country produces more than it needs for its consumption. The vast majority of the energy generated in the country is from hydroelectric sources (90%) and the remaining 10% is from natural gas. Among the hydroelectric plants, HCB stands out the most with an installed generating capacity of 2075 MW, equivalent to 79.4% of the capacity of the other plants and 71.4% of national generation. Recent studies conducted in the country, indicate a huge potential for renewable energy production (Renewable Energy Atlas, 2014), with an estimated capacity of about 23,000 GW of solar resources, followed by hydroelectric sources with 19 GW, wind potential with 5 GW and biomass resources with 2 GW. Of this potential, the government has prioritized the production of 5,645 MW from hydropower sources, 600 MW solar, 1,146 MW wind, 128 MW biomass and 20 MW geothermal energy as a way to accelerate universal access of energy services by the population, climate change mitigation as well as for sustainable use of biomass resources (MTA, 2021).

This Roadmap came to be implemented in 2020 and resulted in the formulation and approval of the Mozambique National Strengthened Transparency Framework (QNFTM). anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions The process of formulating the NTSF was participatory involving public and private sectors and entities, civil society and academia through consultations to, among others, review and validate and removals corresponding to the Party's the monitoring elements of the NDC; present and validate the objectives of the institutional arrangements for the National MRV System; present the proposed Enhanced Transparency nationally determined contribution, Framework; present the model reports on climate change adaptation and mitigation actions; undertake group work to review the proposed Enhanced Transparency Framework and model in accordance with decision 1 /CP .21, reports, and achieve consensus on the documents under formulation in plenary discussions for validation. paragraph 31, and the accounting guidance Thus, the QNTFM was developed to systematically produce the following reports: Biennial Transparency Report (BTR), National Communication (CN) and the Implementation Report adopted by the CMA; UNFCCC VERIFICATION Concil of Ministers Nacional MRV System: - National Communications GIIMC Statistics - GEE Inventories Academia Sector - Biennial Transparency Reports - Report of Implementation of the ENAMMC ACADEMY TECHNICAL SUPPORT Coordination Instituion MEASURING AND REPORTING Healthy Finance Science Public Early Disaster Marine Biodiver- Energy IPPU AFOLU Waste Transport Natural Water Gender Tourism Sector Sector and Works Warning Manage- and sity Sector Sector Sector Sector Sector Resources Resources Sector Sector Tecnology and Sector ment Inner Sector Sector Sector Sector Housing Sector Waters Sector Resouces Sector PRIVATE SECTOR CIVIL SOCIETY GHG INVENTORIES NGOs RASTREIO DA IMPLEMENTAÇÃO DE ENAMMC E NDC 64 Update of the First NDC MOZAMBIQUE 65 of the National Strategy for Mitigation and Adaptation to Climate Change (RI-ENAMMC), including the following interim reports, the National Inventory Report (RIN), Implementation Report of the Nationally Determined Contribution (RI-AAMMC) and Adaptation Communication (AC) (Figure below). The QNTFM has the following systems: Measuring and Reporting System, Verification System and the Academy's Technical Support. In turn, the Measurement and Reporting System is sub-divided into two, one to Measure and Report GHG emissions and removals in the energy sectors including transport, IPPU, AFOLU and Waste - GHG Inventory and the second to Monitor and Report (track) adaptation and risk reduction, mitigation and low carbon development actions and the support received and required contained in the ENAMMC, NAP, NDC and LTS (the latter in formulation).

The consistent methodology should be created with a description sheet One of the major challenges for the operationalisation of the QNTFM and the MRV System will be the strengthening of technical-institutional capacities of the different entities at various levels. In the first phase, technicians from the central and provincial levels will be trained on: use of the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National GHG Inventories; tracking of NDC adaptation and mitigation actions and support received and required. Considering the need for continuous capacity building of technicians and to cover the provincial level including institutional capacity building, the country is formulating the project proposal under the Capacity Building Initiative for Transparency (CBIT) to be submitted later this year.

The original structure of the e-sheets was modified to suit the approaches consistent with IPCC guidance, mitigation actions considered a priority in Mozambique, according to the procedure described above. The tools used allow projecting energy production and use and, in other sectors, industrial as appropriate, including as applicable: production (in IPPU), expansion of agricultural and livestock areas, land use changes (in AFOLU) and waste production (in the Waste sector) based on economic-social growth assumptions. Adaptation has also been done to accommodate the mitigation actions considered.

Mozambique supports the use of market mechanisms including pre-2020 mitigation outcomes such as: • Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) generated by CDM projects and programmes; • Carbon market efforts, so as to make actions economically viable within the specific contexts of least developed countries, developing countries; and • The further development of accounting rules within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to ensure the environmental integrity of market mechanisms and avoid double counting. 6. HOW THE PARTY CONSIDERS ITS NATIONALLY DETERMINED CONTRIBUTION TO BE FAIR AND AMBITIOUS IN LIGHT OF ITS NATIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES: (a) (a) How the Party considers Considering Mozambique's historical emissions, which are insignificant in the global calculation, the effort that the country needs to make to build adaptive capacity and the national challenges its nationally determined contribution of poverty reduction including the most vulnerable, we consider our contribution fair and appropriate in order to pursue the ultimate objective of the Convention. This NDC has been prepared to be fair and ambitious in light in an environment of uncertainty due to the measures imposed by the emergence of new waves of infections from COVID-19, natural calamities and military instability in some localities in the of its national circumstances; centre and north of the country. The country recorded negative real growth of 1.2% in 2020, this reflects the negative effects of COVID-19 on economic activity during the second quarter, (b) Justice considerations, including with the sectors that were most affected being hotel and restaurant services (-35.8%), extractive industries (-25.6%), trade (-5.7%), manufacturing (-5.3%), transport and communications (-4.7%). reflection on equity; The spread of COVID-19, combined with the climatic shocks that affected the south of the country at the beginning of 2021 and the military insecurity in some regions of the Centre and North (c) How the Party has addressed Article 4, of the country, associated with weak global demand, led to a downward revision of the economic outlook initially outlined for 2021, with the growth rate falling from 2.1% to 1.5%. paragraph 3, of the Paris Agreement; In this way, reflecting the progress of vaccination and the extension of fiscal support in the major economies, with repercussions associated with the global economy and the maintenance 72 Update of the First NDC MOZAMBIQUE 73 of monetary policies, a growth of the global economy of around 4.9% is forecast for the year 2022 and that the Mozambican economy will recover slightly, growing at a rate of 2.8% conditioned by the prices of the main commodities on the international market that may boost economic growth in the country. This scenario is based on continuing to respond to Public Health Emergencies as part of the response to the negative impact of COVID 19, with the implementation of the COVID-19 Response Plan through vaccination of 80% of the target population by 2022, providing health assistance to displaced populations and strengthening the Health Emergency Operational Centre. However, the need to incur expenses to mitigate adverse climatic shocks and the COVID-19 pandemic, makes it necessary for external credit to increase for investment projects. It is estimated by the growing trend of current external resources that these will increase from 39,904.0 million ZZM in 2022 to 64,805.9 million ZZM in 2024. It is recognised that the pursuit of resilient, low-carbon development can be a driver for poverty reduction, reduced inequities for the most vulnerable and post-COVID green economic recovery19. Thus, the implementation of the NDC will take into account the most vulnerable groups in communities, promoting climate-proof and inclusive development with increased access to efficient technologies and clean energy, prioritising environmental integrity, human health and the creation of green jobs. Thus, Mozambique's NDC is fair in that it responds to the country's vulnerability to the impacts of climate change, post-pandemic challenges of COVID19 and puts on the table its contribution as a developing country. It is also ambitious because it presents a reduction target to be achieved by the years 2020 and 2025, that is, an expected reduction of about 40 million tCO 2eq by 2025. The emission reductions proposed in the mitigation contribution of Mozambique would represent a mitigation effort of about 1.2 tCO2 eq per capita by 2025, a very relevant figure when compared to the total GHG emissions per capita in Mozambique which were respectively 0.6 tCO 2eq in 1990 and about 2 tCO2 eq today (total emissions with LULUCF). Just for comparison purposes the per capita emissions of developed countries (listed in Annex I of the UNFCCC) in the base year (1990) and in 2019 were respectively 16 tCO 2eq and 12 tCO2 eq (total GHG emissions per capita without LULUCF). Overall these values are 6 tCO 2eq and 7 tCO2 eq when accounting for total GHG emissions per capita with LULUCF. Figure 03 presented in this updated NDC 1, graphically presents such values presented above to facilitate visual comparison between per capita emissions and emissions reductions and comparison of what would be the approximate per capita emissions scenarios for mitigation pathways to achieve temperature rise of up to 1,5oC e 2oC10. (d) How the Party addressed Article 4, The evolution of Mozambique's emissions is insignificant compared to the global emission and in terms of emissions linked to the electricity sector it has the highest amount of generation paragraph 411 , of the Paris Agreement (e) from renewable sources until 2015 and continues to be an electricity exporting country. Therefore, in practice its historical and current contribution to global emissions is very small. (e) How the Party has addressed Article 4, Mozambique reserves the right to apply this paragraph in the future, including to adjust the information contained in item 1b) above. paragraph 612 , of the Paris Agreement 7. HOW THE NATIONALLY DETERMINED CONTRIBUTION CONTRIBUTES TO ACHIEVING THE OBJECTIVE OF THE CONVENTION AS SET OUT IN ITS ARTICLE 2 (a) How the nationally determined Mozambique as a least developed country has no obligation under the Paris Agreement to undertake NDC actions that are not conditional, particularly considering that due to the nature of its contribution contributes to achieving the development and land management, it has not historically contributed to relevant GHG emissions. objective of the Convention as set out in its Thus, part of Mozambique's contributions in the mitigation area are conditioned to international climate financial, technological and capacity building support to be received from abroad, as Article 2; well as capacity building. (b) The way in which the nationally Meanwhile, in the spirit of increased ambition and in order to demonstrate Mozambique's commitment to fighting global warming, the country has developed, with the support of the Climate determined contribution contributes Action Transparency Initiative - ICAT implemented by UNEP-DTU the national framework for strengthened transparency - the MRV System that will help the country measure, report and verify in relation to Article 2, paragraph 1 (a) 13, actions and support received and requested. and Article 4, paragraph 114 , Within this framework, Mozambique expects to prepare and submit, on time, national communications, biennial update reports, biennial transparency reports and update the NDC. of the Paris Agreement. 74 Update of the First NDC MOZAMBIQUE 75 Table 4 SUMMARY OF MEASURES PRESENTED: MITIGATION AND LOW CARBON DEVELOPMENT ACÇÃO DE MITIGAÇÃO MEDIDA META/LOCAL Improving access to renewable Promotion of the use of renewable energy sources - hydro 4.6.2.2.1.1 New capacity of Tsate (50 MW) energy 4.6.2.2.1 Moamba Major (15 MW) Luaice 0.5MW Majaua 595Kw Berua 1900Kw Technology Action Plan for Regular Hydro Turbine Technology Promotion of the use of renewable energy sources - wind 4.6.2.2.1.2 Namaacha (120MW) Manhiça (120MW) Promotion of the use of renewable energy sources - Photovoltaic 4.6.2.2.1.3 Metoro (40MW) Vilanculos (10 MW) Dondo (30 MW) Nacala (30 MW) Boane (30 MW) Cuamba (30 MW) Balama (10 MW) Checua – Maputo (60KW) Alto Changane – Gaza (100Kw) Changanine – Gaza (0.06MW) Zimane – Inhambane (0.06) MW Chiloane – Sofala (0.04 MW) Inhamuchindo - Sofala (0.060 MW) Chissinguana – Sofala (0.01 MW) Chicule – Manica (0/07) Mpego - Manica (40 MW) Garagua Manica (0.04 MW) Fortuna – Tete (20 MW) Mazogo Lualesse (0.04 MW) Chissimbi – Niassa (0.020 MW) Matchedje – Niassa (0.223MW) Ninga - Cabo Delgado (18MW) Ngapa - Cabo Delgado (0,200MW) Implementation of the Technological Action Plan for Regular-Scale Photovoltaic Power Plants - TNA 76 Update of the First NDC MOZAMBIQUE 77 ACÇÃO DE MITIGAÇÃO MEDIDA META/LOCAL Promoting the expansion Expansion of the urban network, making new connections; promoting 100% coverage in the connection Urban areas, in districts - nationwide of the national grid or the creation of domestic consumers in suburban areas, in the districts and interconnected to the national grid (SILE). of energy distribution micro-grids Development of projects and Installation of 50 000 photovoltaic or wind turbine lighting systems Mozambique, in areas isolated from the national electricity grid (SIE) programmes for micro-energy generation in commercial Installation of 5000 solar PV systems for pumping water for domestic, community or public use Areas isolated from the grid (SIE) or mixed (SILE/SIE) and residential buildings - Increase in isolated (SIE) or mixed (SILE/SIE) areas, including agricultural irrigation and livestock watering energy efficiency 4.6.2.1.2 Powering of 5000 glaciers for domestic use, through photovoltaic technology or with wind turbines, Residences in areas isolated from the national electricity grid (SIE).
