HOW WE WILL ACHIEVE IT
Figure 4: Current Energy Mix and Pro posed Solutions to Meet 25% GHG Reduction Target
The first part of this graphic shows how electricity is currently generated. Most electricity is generated using
hydropower and the remaining is from fossil fuels. The middle represents GHG emissions from electricity
generation and the 25% reduction target. The right side of the graphic shows a renewable and alternative energy
solution scenario to reach the target.
