The main efforts in Turkmenistan will be focused on GHG mitigation measures in the energy sector. In the energy and power production sector the following measures are determined:

• Increase of efficiency of fuel utilisation at power plants by means of modernisation of fossil combustion systems;
• Increase of natural gas share in the energy balance;
• Increase of renewable non-fossil sources of energy in the energy balance.

In electric and heat energy consumption sector the following priority measures were determined:

• To increase the energy efficiency in municipal services and in industry, modernisation of heating systems;
• To carry out measures on energy saving in the residential sector and industry.

The Law of Turkmenistan on Energy Saving is at the stage of preparation at present. This law declaratively covers all the aspects of energy saving in both energy production and consumption sectors. The Law defines the framework for governing the energy saving policies at the national level. One of priority measures on GHG emission reduction in the energy production and consumption sector is to design enabling mechanisms to implement the Law on Energy Saving.
