No, there are no regulations requiring a percentage of energy consumption to come from renewable sources. Nevertheless, the Indicative Action Plan 2010-2015 (IAP) of the Rational and Efficient Use of the Energy and Other Non-Conventional Energy Program (PROURE) established certain goals for the use of non-conventional energy.
The IAP stipulates that in terms of installed capacity of the Interconnected National System for 2015, non-conventional energy should represent 3.5% of the total energy used, and this percentage should have increased by up to 6.5% for 2020. According to information as of December 2014, the non-conventional energy percentage share in the Interconnected National System was 2.71%.
Likewise, the IAP established goals for the use of non-conventional energy within the non-interconnected zones, in 20% and 30% of the installed generation capacities, for years 2015 and 2020, respectively. These goals were to be accomplished by, among others, adopting the following measures: (i) implementing a wind measurement and registration program in places identified with a high potential of wind energy to make an estimate of the usable energy; (ii) promoting the research in universities and research centers; (iii) investigating the vulnerability of water resources due to climate change.
